About us

Tulu language is one of the Dravidian languages which has its own script and literatures. Since, the main the language of this region is Tulu.  this place was called as Tulunadu. Tulunadu is a Region on the southwest part of coastal region between Karnataka and Kerala state of india. Which contains Mangalore, Udupi and northern part of Kasaragod.

 Tulunadu is popular for many folk hubs and its unique cultures which include Yakshagana, Bhuta Kola, Nagaradhane, Kambala, siri and many more. Which is unique compared to another Region. In which, Daivaradhane is one amoung them.

In Tulunadu people worship Daivas more than god. Daivas are basically demi-god who are one step below god. worshiping of Daivas are called Daivaradhane which is also called as bhuta kola.
Daivaradhane is not just a worship of demi-god or dancing for the musical instrument night long. instead it is the beautiful customs and ritual which give lessons to our life through stories and way it is exhibited which has been transferred from generations.  there are few aspects in Daivaradhane which are not clearly shown because of many reasons including impact of other culture. there is no one who has a full knowledge on this culture.

This Blog contain information regarding Daivardhane which contains stories of different types of Daiva’s, what are different forms of daiva’s , their myth and truth ,  process of worshipping , changes happening in daivaradhane and also few  concept which is relating to Tulunad's .
The main goal of this blog is to speared the knowledge which I have gained from primary and secondary source. there is no intention of hurting any of the community or researcher.

    In your statement "Daivas are basically demi-god who are one step below god. " Why do you say daivas are one step below god? Is there any research or historical account to say that? As far as our oral histories and unique traditions go, aren't daivas our original gods? bermer and bhootas? The vedic gods, and other religions came at a much later stage of our history, right? We probably have a mixed culture now because of different cultural influences over centuries but the statement that 'Daivas are one step below gods' seems incorrect as per my understanding.
