Dear Matthew,

such terms as Agama Bali Hindu, Agama Hindu Bali, Agama Tirtha, etc., start to be attested in Balinese literature from the first two or three decades of the twentieth century. 

A recent and comprehensive discussion of this issue may be found in the book by Michel Picard, Kebalian : la construction dialogue de l’identity balinaise. Paris : Les Cahiers d’Archipel Vol. 44, 2017. 

Best,

Andrea

Dear friends,

Might you be able to shed light on just when it was that the designation "Hindu" first came to be applied to the religion of Bali, and what the local term(s) may have been beforehand? A small number of references would be most welcome as well. 

with thanks in advance,

Matthew
