ನಮ್ಮ ಬೇರುಲು Our roots

From Tulu Nadu to New South Wales

Our story begins on the coast of Tulu Nadu — the strip of Karnataka and Kerala where the Western Ghats meet the Arabian Sea. Tulu, with its deep Dravidian roots, carries centuries of tradition: Yakshagana, Kambala, Bhoota Kola, and a cuisine that needs no introduction.

Today, hundreds of Tuluvas call Sydney home. Tulu Koota Sydney exists so that our language is spoken, our festivals are celebrated, and our children grow up knowing where they come from.
