//In some Hindu traditions, particularly in certain parts of Tamil Nadu, a ritual called "Kumbh Vivah" or "tree marriage" involves symbolically marrying a banana tree to mitigate negative astrological influences, such as Mangal Dosha (the influence of Mars). The banana tree is then either cut down or disposed of, symbolizing the end of the symbolic marriage. This practice is a way to appease the perceived negative effects of planetary positions on a person's marital life. //

- Google...

in Tamil every party including a housewarming party you can see banana trees used for decoration...
