Скачать или смотреть Between Worlds: Invoking Jumadi and Banta

Witness the sacred and electrifying Bhuta Kola ritual near Mangalore, featuring two powerful Daivas—Jumadi, the fierce dispenser of justice, and Banta, the loyal guardian spirit.

This film unfolds in three acts:
Act I: Awakening the Divine – Sacred ornaments are prepared and carried from the ancestral home to the ritual grounds, where the Daivas begin their journey.
Act II: Descent of the Spirits – The performers transform as Jumadi and Banta descend through trance, music, and dance.
Act III: The Oracle Unleashed – Possessed by the spirits, the mediums deliver divine oracles, offering blessings, warnings, and guidance.

Bhuta Kola is a living tradition in Tulu Nadu, blending folk ritual, spirit possession, and ancestral worship. This video captures its intimate choreography of faith, fire, and memory—where the gods are not distant, but embodied and present.
