India history and geography
Source: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Bobbariya refers to the principal bhutha of the Mogers.—Like other Tulu castes, the Mogers worship bhuthas (devils). The principal bhutha of the fishing community is Bobbariya, in whose honour the kola festival is held periodically. Every settlement, or group of settlements, has a Bobbariya bhuthasthana (devil shrine). The Matti Brahmans, who, according to local tradition, are Mogers raised to the rank of Brāhmans by one Vathiraja Swami, a Sanyāsi, also have a Bobbariya bhuthasthana in the village of Matti.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
