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.
