Part 6 - Different Types of Bhutas of Tulunadu

The Daiva or bhutas are worshiped by different religion and caste but staying on the land of “TULUNADU”, may it be a Hindu (among all Varnas), a Muslim or a Christian. About 101 bhutas are named below from the Billuver notes from face book post from this community.

Biruver (Youth of Billavas)'s notes:

With causative to the strong familial and community bonds among the people of Tulu Nadu, the spirit worship also serves to viaduct the religious divide as spirits with Muslim origins like Ali Bhuta and Bobbarya are also revered by the trustworthy here. Even in the modern age ruled by technology, Bhuta Aradhane continues to have authority over Tulu Nadu as it has done for centuries. As an art form, tradition, entertainment and psycho-cultural phenomenon, spirit worship stands as a grand example of man’s longing for an cherished connection with nature.
