Pagerwesi is a special day on the Balinese Calendar, which falls on September 1, where the Balinese protect themselves from evil forces. Pagerwesi commemorates the day upon which an ancient battle between good and evil was fought. The word Pagerwesi translates to “iron fence”, symbolic for the day that the Balinese strengthen their fortifications against evil.
