What Is Putturda Piligobbu?
Putturda Piligobbu is a cultural programme built around Hulivesha performances, traditional dance and the cultural traditions of Tulu Nadu.
The Kannada term Pili Vesha / Hulivesha refers to the tiger-costume performance tradition seen across the coastal Karnataka region, particularly during festive and cultural occasions.
The Season 4 programme is being promoted as an opportunity to experience these performances in Puttur, with local reports describing Hulivesha artists, traditional dance and other elements of regional cultural heritage as part of the programme.
Hulivesha and Tulu Nadu Cultural Heritage
Hulivesha is an important folk performance tradition of coastal Karnataka and is particularly associated with the cultural landscape of Tulu Nadu.
