Tulunad Heritage: The Land of Daivas

A deep, sourced dive into Tulu Nadu — Bhuta Kola and the Daivas (Panjurli, Guliga, Koti-Chennaya), Nagaradhane serpent groves, the Aati monsoon rituals, Kambala, Yakshagana, and the endangered Tulu-Tigalari script. Written from Sullia, near Mangalore.

Why I'm writing this

A home for the things I want to understand properly and say in my own words — where I come from, what I build, and whatever else earns the effort. One rule: do it properly, with sources.
