'''Jumadi''', also known by its [[Sanskrit|Sanskritised]] name '''Dhumavathi''', is an [[androgynous]] deity worshipped in the [[Buta Kola]] folk tradition. The Buta Kola cult is popular among the [[Tulu people|Tuluva]] ethnic people in the coastal districts of [[Karnataka]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
==Mythology== <br />
<br />
Jumadi is considered a deity of heavenly origin who descends to the [[Tulunadu]] region to receive worship from the people. <br />
<br />
The various myths prevalent in the region describe the deity's insatiable thirst and the establishment of its cult among the dominant [[Bunt (community)|Bunt]]. The deity's cult is further exalted by the worship it receives from the [[Chowta]] royal family of [[Moodabidri]]. The Royal House of Chowta worships Jumadi at a shrine inside the Chowtara Aramane Palace.<ref name=Bruckner2009p5>{{cite book |title=On an Auspicious Day, at Dawn: Studies in Tulu Culture and Oral Literature |first=Heidrun |last=Brückner |publisher=Otto Harrassowitz Verlag |year=2009 |page=67 |isbn=978-3-447-05916-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MehF3uSdHxgC |accessdate=2011-12-29}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The deity's association with the ruling class [[Bunt (community)|Bunts]] gives it the epithet "Rajan-Daiva" (Deity of the Rulers). The myths pertaining to Jumadi are oral in nature and are recorded in distinctive [[Tulu language|Tulu]] folk songs called [[paddanas]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kamila|first1=Raviprasad|title=Kantheri Jumadi pad-dana in English|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/kantheri-jumadi-paddana-in-english/article3283025.ece|accessdate=5 October 2017|agency=The Hindu}}</ref><br />

The paddanas record the various adventures and legends of the deity. They also record the various forms and names of the deity such as Kanteri Jumadi (Jumadi worshipped by the Bunt Feudal Lords, Kantanna Adhikari and Devu Poonja), Marlu Jumadi (the wild form of the princely Jumadi), and Sarala Jumadi (Jumadi worshipped by a thousand households).<br />
