The Tuluvas engage spiritually with a host of local spirits and deities during the annual celebration of Bhuta-Kola; bhuta meaning spirit and kola meaning play or performance, in the Tulu language. During the ritual, oracles summon bhutas and are temporarily possessed by them, forecasting future events or acting as mediators to provide moral guidance and resolve legal disputes.
