What is Daiva Kola?
Daiva Kola, an amazing ceremonial extravaganza from Karnataka's Tulu-speaking districts, is profoundly embedded in local culture and traditions. This ceremonial practice combines dance, theatre, music, and religious devotion to create a lively show of cultural expression. The performance takes place in front of a crowd of villagers who actively engage, seeking divine intervention in various personal or community issues. Daiva Kola promotes spiritual connection and strengthens social cohesiveness and identity within the community.
