Most Tenggerese are officially Buddhist, but their religion includes many elements of Hinduism including the worship of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma.

The Tenggerese are basically either agriculturalists or nomadic herders.

According to legend, Jaka Seger and Roro Anteng are the ancestors of the Tenggerese.

On the fourteenth day of the Hindu festival of Yadnya Kasada, the Tenggerese people of Probolinggo, East Java, travel up the mountain in order to make offerings of fruit, rice, vegetables, flowers and sacrifices of livestock to the mountain gods by throwing them into the caldera of the volcano.

However, in the past few decades, due to over-population in Madura, many Madurese settlers have exploited the Tenggerese land by clearing some of their nature reserves for land and converted 2-3 % ( up to 10, 000 of them ) of the Tenggerese to Islam in the process, particularly those living in the more accessible areas in the lowlands just outside the Tengger range.

Because of this Islamic missionary activity, the remaining Hindu Tenggerese asked the Balinese Hindus for help by reforming their culture and religion closer to the Balinese.

Both Muslim and Christian missionaries have attempted to convert the Tenggerese.

The Tenggerese Muslims have a more successful conversion, though they frequently mix original Hindu-Buddhist ideas and spirits to their Islam and celebrate Tenggerese festivals at the same time.

The main festival of the Tenggerese is the Yadnya Kasada, which lasts about a month.

On the fourteenth day of the Kasada, the Tenggerese go to Poten Bromo and ask for blessing from the main deity Hyang Widi Wasa and the God of the Mountain ( Mount Semeru ) by presenting annual offerings of rice, fruit, vegetables, flowers, livestock and other local produce.

For a few years the Tenggerese people flourished under the leadership of Jaka Seger and Roro Anteng, yet the king and queen were unhappy for they had no children.

Since then, the Tenggerese lived in near-complete isolation until recently.
