Demon of the Paradise
Pottavelli is a village nestled in the hills and forests of coastal Karnataka. The villagers lead a traditional life. Devoid of electricity and mobile phone towers. Narrow lanes connect the mud houses with thatched roofs, and villagers move around on bullock carts, bicycles, or barefoot. The village practices traditional agriculture and handicrafts, with a strong sense of community and festival celebration with music, dance, and traditional performances.
