Bhūta kōla or spirit worship is an ancient ritual form of worship prevalent among the Tulu-speaking community in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, and Kodagu districts in Karnataka and Kasaragod taluk in Kerala alternatively known as Tulu Nadu. It has close a resemblance to ''theyyam'', a ritual form of worship common among Malayali of North Malabar. With ''bhūta'' referring to a class of supernatural spirits and ''kōla'' referring to a ceremony for the bhūta, the further understanding is that "a bhūta kōla is performed to appeaase and solicit assistance from the spirit(s)〔South Asian Folklore : An Encyclopedia : Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, by Peter J. Claus, Sarah Diamond, Margaret Ann Mills - Taylor & Francis, 2003 - p. 64-65 ()〕 remaining an ancient ritual of spirit worship. Such ritual forms of worship remain as ancient practices intended for the blessings of the supernatural not unlike "in Indus Valley and other ancient civilizations, mother goddess had been invoked for fertility and prosperity"〔A Panorama of Indian Culture: Professor A. Sreedhara Menon Felicitation Volume - K. K. Kusuman - Mittal Publications, 1990 - p.130"()"〕 The coastal Karnataka is known for two art forms, namely ''bhūta kōla'', a highly stylised version of the ritual dance of the spirit impersonator and a fine tradition of ''yakṣagāna'', creating a world of divine and supernatural beings with all the paraphernalia of costume, make-up, music, dance and dialogue.
