Painting of "Bhoota Kola" the traditional spirit dance' of coastal South India
This is one of my previous paintings which is a commissioned work for my Colleague.
The medium is Acrylic on Canvas.
Size: 20" x 16"
Bootha Kola is also known as the worship of Daivas or Bhootas or Demi-Gods, is an ancient ritual prevalent among the Tulu speaking community in the Dakshina Kannada districts in Karnataka state, India, referred to as Tulu Nadu.
The ritual includes elaborate face painting, folk costumes made of coconut leaves, drum based music and the area is lit up with the light from the burning bonfire, which gives the ritual a touch of mysticism and visual appeal. People’s belief in these spirits further adds credence to this religious art form. People believe the spirit talks to them through the impersonator and protects them.
This is the finished painting of "Bhoot Kola"
