Page "Hinduism in Sulawesi" Paragraph 2

The Torajas have continued many practices of animist nature, but their conversion to Hinduism has allowed them to keep on their traditions within the framework of an organized religion.

Their conversion was hastened by the sudden proliferation of Christian missionaries in the area, trying to woo people away from their native beliefs.

The practices are more traditionalist in nature, as opposed to Balinese Hinduism and Indian Hinduism.
