A banana tree at the Paddy’s Bar site. The planting of the banana trees is very significant in Balinese Hinduism. The owner of the site, Kadek Wirantha, explained that once the banana trees have borne fruit, the site is considered cleansed and ready for rebuilding. He does not intend to rebuild on the site, he is leaving it up to the government and community to decide what should be built there.
