I wish to speak on the significance of the banana is our day to day life. The comb of banana too is culturally important like the sheaf of betel. The comb of bananas is favored as a gift. it occupies a significant place in the traditional table laid along with other sweet meats like Kevin (oil cakes),kakis, and milk rice. The comb of bananas too cuts across social distinctions. A poor man could offer a comb of bananas from his crop to the richest man and no distinctions are made. The yellow color of the banana is considered a sign of prosperity, therefore the bananas secure an important place in the trays used in ceremonies, such as engagements, weddings etc. of the Hindus.
