Tulunadu Culture
Bhoota Kola spirit worship, Nagaradhane serpent rituals, the Kambala buffalo races, Huli Vesha tiger dances and the dance-drama of Yakshagana.

The Tulu-speaking coast of Karnataka carries one of India's most distinctive regional cultures — and Arabian Shore sits right inside it.
Land of Tulu
A coast with its own language, gods and grammar of food
Tulunadu stretches along the Arabian Sea coast of Karnataka, roughly from Kasaragod to Udupi. It has its own language, Tulu, and a culture built around spirit worship, agrarian festivals and seafood-forward cooking that owes little to the food of inland Karnataka. Staying at Arabian Shore puts you within reach of both — the rituals still performed in village shrines, and the dishes still cooked the way they always have been.
Tulunadu Cuisine
Kori Rotti, Neer Dosa, Kori Sukka and the coast's celebrated fish fries — built on rice, coconut and the day's catch.
