The Coastal Karnataka people whose Tulu nation — speakers of one of India's oldest Dravidian languages — built the Tulu Nadu civilization of yakshagana theatre, bhuta kola spirit worship, and the matrilineal Aliya Santana inheritance system.
Tulu people — a Dravidian-speaking nation of coastal Karnataka and northern Kerala whose Tulu language, with its own Tigalari script and classical literary tradition, represents one of South India's most ancient and least-celebrated linguistic heritages, spoken by over two million people in the Tulu Nadu region centered on Mangalore. The bhuta kola — an all-night ritual performance in which spirit mediums embody ancestral deities in elaborate costumes and deliver oracular judgments to assembled communities — and the yakshagana dance-drama tradition represent a coastal performance culture of extraordinary vitality that has survived centuries of Vijayanagara, Portuguese, Hyder Ali, and British influence. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that Mangalore coastal legacy and Tulu Indian heritage with a QR code linking to the full story.
