Another scam incoming, I guess.

To reach to the level of Kerala you need strong leadership and low corruption. Another fart in the wind project or will this boost Mangaluru and surroundings?

As part of the Freedom Habba celebrations, the Freedom Parade showcased Tulunadu’s vibrant cultural heritage through Yakshagana and Bharatanatyam performances led by Panchami Maroor, a proud daughter of Tulunadu.

Under her leadership, the Yaksha Taranga team delivered a captivating Yakshagana presentation that highlighted the region’s traditional art and cultural richness.

A standout moment of the event was performing Yakshagana on the grand stage set before Vidhana Soudha — Karnataka’s iconic seat of legislative power. Presenting Tulunadu’s art at such a prestigious venue was a deeply proud and memorable experience for the community.

Fakir Gowda was a celebrated hunter in Karnataka, part of a traditional practice known as Huli Maduve (tiger marriage), which was a ceremonial recognition in Kodagu for hunters who had killed at least 40 tigers. At the coronation, the hunter was adorned with a Mysore peta (traditional turban) and paraded in a grand procession. Oral histories record that Fakir Gowda personally achieved 48 Huli Maduve titles, highlighting his extraordinary reputation and prowess in tiger hunting. Other prominent hunters, like Pili Subba of Siddakatte, were among the last known holders of this ceremonial honor.

Since I was seeing a lot of posts on in game photography, thought I'd share mine.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is incredibly close to my heart — I see so much of myself in Bayek and his journey. I honestly hope we get to see him again in a future installment.

I’m even trying to forget parts of the story just so I can experience another full playthrough.
This game helped me through some really tough times, and I’m genuinely grateful to the Ubisoft devs and researchers who poured so much time and passion into creating it.

Baalu Madedhi was a legendary Tulu chieftain from the Kaadedhooru–Aranthade lineage, daughter of Soorala Mada and Deyi Madedi . Her family held chieftainship over the Koppa ghat region, and she later married Shankara Hegde, a key minister in the Barkuru royal court.

Trained in warfare and horse riding, she commanded a powerful army in the Karkala region, where she is still revered today . She had four children — twin sons Jartu Mada and Pernu Mada, and daughters Thunge and Kaveri Madedhi — and held vast land ownership of 9000 mudi. The villages of Palli and Yeliyala emerged when her territory was divided between her daughters.

Her most famous story involves discovering a piglet during a ride — which revealed itself as Panjurli Daiva. She carried it in her saree pallu, leading to the revered Mattara Panjurli, worshipped by her descendants today .

In a legendary battle against Ninjoora Konde, she was challenged to kick a massive stone. After praying to Panjurli, she struck it with such force that it landed exactly where her rivals demanded — the stone still stands as proof .

She also cared for Badhrabaari Kadenju like her own son; he is worshipped as a Daiva, and his tomb stands beside hers in Yeliyala . Baalu Madedhi even had a personal chamber built for her in Tirupati, where a lane is named after her surname “Mada”.

Jai Tulunad!
