Pursa Kattuna is a traditional ritualistic dance form performed by Tulu-speaking people from various castes across different parts of Belthangady taluk in Dakshina Kannada district. Typically, it marks the conclusion of agricultural activities & is predominantly executed by men. This cultural ritual spans three to five nights, coinciding with the full moon period of the Suggi month. Led by the Gowda community, it fosters unity among participants from diverse castes & features a multitude of unique costumes. Some scholars argue that Pursa Kattuna may have originated under the influence of secret tantric sects during mediaeval Karnataka.
