Tulunadu in the Sangam Literature The earliest reference to Tulunadu is found in the Sangam literature, where the people of this region are termed the Kosars. However, there were the western, eastern, northern, and southern Kosars, thereby implying that the Tulu people were one of the Kosars.

Bhoota Kola, or Holy Spirit Worship, is an ancient ritual form of worship prevalent among the Tulu-speaking community in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada districts in Karnataka, and Kasaragod taluk in Kerala, historically known as Tulu Nadu. It has a close resemblance to Theyyam, a ritual form of worship common among Malayalis of the North Malabar. The coastal Karnataka is known for two art forms, namely Bhuta Kola, a highly stylized version of the ritual dance of the spirit impersonator, and a fine tradition of Yakshagana, creating a world of divine and supernatural beings with all the paraphernalia of costumes, make-up, music, dance, and dialogue.
