that the string represents that you have just been to a ceremony & so have recently been pured/cleansed..
It is also for protection as such from Black Magic, it will keep you safe so she tells me...
For the 3 immediate days prior to our Wedding Gede & I were to stay in the compound as jealous family, friends, neinghbours & spirits notice how busy everyone is so it's easier to enter & do black magic. So we were tolod to stay in our room, rest & sleep, watch DVD's etc... When we left the compound we had to pray first!!
I also think things vary from vilalge to village!???
