While exploring further, the research scholars could relate the Matrilineal influence (Aliasanthana) so intense, as got to know the impact of Shaktism and Sirikula on the Bunts Community particularly.

Among the 400/500 bhutas, the research scholar was more curious in JUMADI: A bisexual spirit accompanied by a dumb messenger called Bante (warrior attendant). The history behind it, the apprearance and Origin to my utter ambush! As further dwelling found the connection to the Tantric deities of the Dasa Mahavidyas–Dhumavati, and then coonecting it to Randga a Leyek witch and barong worshipped in Indonesia very similar to the demigods we worship in the south kanara belt.Dumavati /Durga, her existence story and appearance and purpose itself manifested to match the same to Jumadi and Rangda.
