Bhoota Kola, also referred to as Bhūta Kolam, Daiva Kōlā or Daiva Nēmā, is a Hindu folk dance performance practised, believed and protected by the Tuluvas of Tulu Nadu and parts of Malenadu of Karnataka and Kasargod in northern Kerala, India, and Malayalis of Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
The dance is highly stylised and performed as part of 'Bhootaradhane' or 'Bhootharadhanam', or worship of the local deities worshipped by the Tulu- and Malayalam-speaking population in South India.
