About Tulu Koota Sydney
A community built on language, culture and the simple joy of finding your people far from home.
Our story
Tulu Koota Sydney was founded to bring together the Tulu-speaking community across Sydney and New South Wales. Our members trace their roots to Tulu Nadu — the coastal belt of Karnataka and northern Kerala — home of the Tulu language, one of the oldest Dravidian tongues.
What began as informal gatherings has grown into a registered not-for-profit organisation running cultural festivals, sports tournaments, charity drives and family events throughout the year.
