Shambu
Kalkuda And Ervadi Belong to poor sculptor family.
They were blessed with 4 boy children. Sambu kalkuda teaches each one of his children
with particular skills and specialized them as Coppersmith, Carpenter, Potter
and Goldsmith respectively. later he Assigns them to different locations to
work with their respective abilities. Shambu Kalkuda had to leave 7
months pregnant Ervadi in the purpose of work.
Ervadi give birth
to Fraternal twins and named
them as Beere and Kalamma. while, children reach the age of maturity. Beere was
insulted fatherless by his friends. Beere goes in reach of his dad and finds
him. Shambu kalkuda shows this beautiful
stone sculptures to his son beere, but,Beere points out the mistake done by his
dad in his work. Father gets scared of
punishment from king and shame because, his son pointed his mistake which no
one could identify. Shambu kalkuda kills
himself. Later on ,his son beere decided continuing his father’s occupation. he
works in Karkala to sculpt the statue of Gomatta. mesmerizingly, he sculpted
Gomatta statue.
King Balisuda told
beere that he wanted to personally felicitate him by giving Sliver kada for his
left leg and gold kada for this right hand. But The king cut his one hand and
one leg so that he will not be able to sculpt anywhere else. beere goes to
Venur for sculpting of “Gomatta”. With his one leg and one hand.
Years passed but
her brother did not return home. So, kalamma decide to leave in search of her
brother. leaving her mother at home. she gets ready and carries a bag which
contained food for her journey and rest for her brother. She continues her
journey in search of her brother Beere. Finally, she finds him in Venur
suffering without arm and leg.
Kalamma get
emotional seeing her brother stage, angrily throws her bag into lake and went
running towards her brother. They decide to take revenge against King Balisuda.
beere and Kalamma
took bath in nearby river and went to Mahalingeshwara temple and jumped into
the well, disappeared and gets divine powers with the grace of God.
they takes revenge
on King Balisuda by destroying his kingdom and torturing him mentally and physically.
Finally, balisuda asked for forgiveness and agree to worship them.
These Daivas were popularly worshiped as
Kalkuda - Kallurti
when we hit black stone, the mark as white
remains on it. Same concept has been shown in the make-up of Kallurti-Kalkuda
during kola, Daivas are supposed to put the black color with white dot in it.
Which also shows their family works of Kallurti-Kalkuda. but, due to changes in
time and involvement of other forms, Kallurti face color is been replaced by
pink and kalkuda face colour is been replaced by blue these days.
Year passed, king
balisudava was tired of worshipping kallurti-kalkuda. So, he decided to put poison to their
offering. But Daivas made his family to eat it intelligently and made them suffer.
Balisudava pleaded for forgiveness and begged to hold his family safe. Daivas
forgiven his sins and made a vow that he will not make this mistake again.
This situation is still shown during kola,
before offering food to Kallurti. it has to be eaten by 3 or more children. To make sure nothing has been added to it.
