No culture can dominate the culture of Tulunadu

        The state of Karnataka is blessed by the unique culture called ‘Tulu’. The people of Tulunadu are so attached to their culture because it was like mother who initiated them to relate with other cultures. As a result they are able to vibrate their culture with other culture. Though the Tuluvas are aware of other cultures yet they find a strong bonding towards Tulu culture; and this passion drives them to be loyal to their culture. The influence of western culture is dominant but it cannot separate the people from their local culture. The external expression of Tulu culture stands out very prominently. Kambla, pili vesha, cock fight and festivals like Shivarathri, Gheddasa, Bisu parba, Aatikalenja, Atiammavasi, kangilu, etc. are witnessed by everyone in Manglaore. These are so indigenous in nature that they are preserved by the people who feel proud of it.
