Recruitment Phase of 100 Muslim Laskar Blambangan: The Kingdom of Buleleng received the assistance of 100 Muslim Laskar from Blambangan to guard its territory. 3. Appreciation Phase with the Handover of Gatep Forest: Muslim soldiers were given gatep forest land as a form of appreciation for their services. 4. Phase of Naming the Area into Pegayaman Village: The name "Pegayaman" comes from the word "gayam", referring to the gatep fruit and keris gayaman, a symbol of strength and resilience. 5. Strategic Phase of Pegayaman as a Fortress of Defense, Identity Formulation and Value Conservation: Pegayaman Village has developed into a village with 6 superior identities, such as a historical village, an old village, a warrior village, and an acculturative village. This journal concludes that Pegayaman Village has a rich and unique history, formed through the acculturation of Islamic-Hindu culture and religion. This village is a real example of tolerance between religious communities in Bali, with a rich cultural heritage and tradition as a result of the acculturation.]]>
