While being driven around Bali, I saw this strange painting in a shop at Tegallalong. I don't know if there is some hidden meaning regarding the use of the swastika symbol. It was a Hindu symbol for centuries before the Nazis stole it and Bali is 95% Hindu unlike the rest of Indonesia which is mainly Muslim. At the same shop there was a similar painting of Osama Bin Laden and of pop stars like Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones.

I suspect the painting is there to catch the eye of the tourists, who will then hopefully go into the shop and buy things. It was 50% successful in your case I take it.
