Bali — The Bali calendar identifies Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, as Saniscara Umanis Bala and Purnama Kapat, with Amerta Pageh listed as suitable for Dewa Yadnya ceremonies. The same calendar guidance marks several other activities as unsuitable on periods of the day.
The guidance, reported by detikBali and Bali Post, divides the date into named periods with different customary uses. It is a calendar-based reference for ceremonies and other activities, not a general prohibition issued by Bali’s government.
Why the calendar matters to visitors and residents
For foreign residents and visitors, the distinctions matter when arranging events connected with Balinese Hindu practice. Amerta Pageh is described as good for Dewa Yadnya, a term for offerings or ceremonies dedicated to the divine. Other periods are described as unsuitable for weddings, cremations, house construction, starting work, moving, or travel.
Carik Walangati is listed as unsuitable for weddings or wiwaha, atiwa-tiwa or ngaben cremation rites, and building a house. Kala Dangu is described as unsuitable for starting work, moving to another place, or travelling. Kala Gotongan is suitable for starting a business but unsuitable for burying or cremating the dead.
Karna Sula is described as unsuitable for weddings, acquiring or buying pets, meetings, and speaking with others. Pamacekan is suitable for farm work and making fishing spears, but unsuitable for carrying out yadnya. Salah Wadi is described as unsuitable for Manusa Yadnya rites, including weddings, mapandes and hair-cutting ceremonies, as well as Pitra Yadnya rites such as burial, cremation, nyekah and ngasti.
The calendar also lists Pepedan as suitable for opening new agricultural land but unsuitable for making iron equipment. It describes a separate period as suitable for making or opening a place of trade and beginning sales, and Sri Bagia as suitable for beginning a friendship.
