The film's portrayal of divine possession during Bhoota Kola rituals is rooted in real traditions. However, not everyone can be possessed - only certain hereditary communities like the Nalike, Pambada, and Parawa are considered custodians of this sacred rite
Panjurli, the guardian deity with a boar's face, is believed to be an incarnation of Vishnu, blessed by Shiva and Parvati. His fierce visage symbolizes protection and justice, and he is worshipped alongside Guliga during the Bhoota Kola season
The spirit of Guliga Daiva, central to the film's climax, is based on a lesser-known deity from Tulu Nadu folklore. According to myth, Guliga was born from a stone formed by Parvati's ash and was cursed by Vishnu due to his insatiable hunger and destructive nature
The film's striking publicity poster, which sparked intrigue with its mystical imagery, was designed by the boutique creative house Kaani Studio - known for blending folk motifs with modern design
