Jumadi

Jumadi is an androgynous deity worshipped in the Buta Kola folk tradition.

The Buta Kola is popular among the Tuluva ethnic people in the coastal districts of Karnataka, India.

Jumadi is considered a deity of heavenly origin who descends to the Tulunadu region to receive worship from the people.

The legend of Jumadi describes a man-eating asura with insatiable thirst named Dhumasura, who had a boon by which neither a man nor a woman could kill him.

The deity's throat featured the lingam and wore a crown of nagas (snakes).
