Namaskāra friends! Welcome back to the Solmelu Studios Tulu Script Series.

In this video, we’ll learn how to write the word “Bārkūrụ” in Tulu script, while exploring the fascinating history and origins of this ancient Tulunāḍ town.

🔤 What you’ll learn today:

How to write the consonant ba in Tulu script
The ū-mātrā (long vowel sign for “ū”) used with consonants
The Repha / Arka concept from Indic scripts and its form in Tulu (a short stroke above the consonant)
The virāma symbol, representing the near-silent ụ sound in Tulu

🗺️ About the word “Bārkūrụ”:

We’ll explore several etymology theories behind the name Barkur —
From the popular “Barah Kanya Pura” (land of twelve maidens)

To meanings grounded in geography and local speech, like:
Bāraga + ūr → big town or large settlement
Bāraka + ūr → Place by an estuary
Barkæ + ūr → village around a manor house

🏰 A word of concern:
During my last visit to Barkur, I found the ancient Barkur Fort and many historic sites and inscribed stones in a state of neglect and ruin. These places are part of our Tulunāḍ identity.

Let’s raise our voices respectfully to the concerned authorities to protect and preserve them for future generations, because Tuluva culture is our pride, and Barkur is its living museum.

👉 Watch till the end, learn the script, and join me in spreading awareness about Barkur’s remarkable heritage.
