Daivaradhane is practised in the coastal region of Karnataka which is still practised today. Daivardhane refers to the worship of spirits of guardians and ancestors by conducting rituals and ceremonies.
Daivaradhane plays a much important part in the religious life of the people of Tulu Nadu. It is really very difficult to decide how old this custom or practice of worshipping the Daivas is, but believed to be one of the time-honoured Dravidian cults. Daivas also plays an important role in the administration and judiciary system of Tulu Nadu.
Dravidians worship their ancestors. It is believed that there is more than 1000+ Daivas in Tulu Nadu. But only few are more popular and worshipped in all parts of Tulu Nadu. while other spirits are worshipped by certain individual family or in certain region only in a modest way. Each daivas has its own story and Reason for worshipping.
Daivardhane is primarily concerned with the most basic forms of worshipping nature and our ancestors. There was no concept of writing. This was a sequence of exercises and directions. Thereafter different changes have been made to different practices looking at historical experience during the exploration and discovery path. It had a huge impact on frameworks and tools. Later these practices have been dominated by the passage of time. The theory behind the ritual has been broken and people begin to alter blindly, which affects the main cause of worshipping Daivas. so, we must first see why we worship and then try to continue to worship as our ancestors did.
