The PHD has contested Indonesia's demographic counts, saying that the 6,501,680 count (given by the government of Indonesia) grossly undercounts the Hindu population, stating that it is closer to 18 million. The PHDI in this manner has become a rallying organization for the preservation of Hindu customs. It is the highest religious body in Bali and is given an official sanction by the government to look into matters of Hindu law. It sent out many Balinese missionaries to outlying areas like Medan. In 1964 however it began to stress a religious rather than regional character and changed its name to Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia Religious Efforts From 1960–64 it was known as Parisada Hindu Dharma Bali. It lobbied for the rights of Hindus in Bali after Hinduism became a state sponsored religion (along with Buddhism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism) in 1959. It was started in 1959 by Ida Bagus Mantra and led by Gedong Bagus Oka.
