    Good event guys...Looks like lot of guys had turned up to the event..But the issue here is the Bhoota Kola has been made to look like its an entertainment item on the stage.Well its not. "Tulunada Daivaradhana Rakshana Chavadi" has already made a press release requesting people not to use Bhoota Kola as a entertainment tool. We request all you guys not to use Bhoota Kola as a entertainment item in any of the functions.

    Tuluva culture is one of the exclusive & oldest Dravidian cultures of this region. Traditionally and culturally Tuluvas was a part of North Kerala. Even the food, festivals, dress, customs, rituals and lifestyle of Tuluvas and Keralites are similar. Also, the rituals of these two groups are similar as in the case of Bhuta Kola for Tuluvas and Theyyam for Malayalees. Nairs and Bunts belong to the same cast.

    Now the culture in only to demonstrate abroad & it is not alive where it should. We feel proud when ever we attend such functions,but reality is totaly different. People are selling their ancentral properties & houses to get their daughters & Sisters married. Tulunaadu Culture has already become a musuem piece. These sanghas & Associations are there only for name sake. . Have they taken any initiative to curb Dowry system which is growing day by day in the society. Forget about taking intiative instead they feel proud to announce the amount of Dowry taken or given. Wealth without social responsibity is a sin. This has kept the poor people of community out of the Sociatal main stream & there are people who are still struggling for their livelyhood, there are unmmaried daughters & Sisters . We are not bothered about all this. There  is a huge Gap between Sangha & Samaja ( community & Association )We feel bad when somebody reminds us of our responsibility ! Carry On ! May God Bless You
