\u25cf Kaipulla Baakyaru, or Baakimaaru<\/strong> \u2013 All rituals associated with Bhootaradhane are held at this spot named Baakimaaru. This place was full of thorny bushes and shrubs before the spirit of Kodamanithaya burnt them down and converted the land into a religiously significant one. Since then, only auspicious occurrings take place here.<\/p>\n \u25cf Karthule bhaava<\/strong> \u2013 This is the place where all boundaries of Thodar are defined since ages.<\/p>\n \u25cf The three marked spots<\/strong> \u2013 There are three custom-oriented markings of spots done namely \u2013 Padu Peralakatte, Kukkuda Katte and Gundeer. These are the places where dompada bali ritual takes place alternatively every year, and the respective village heads or families monitor the ritual at their home spot.<\/p>\n \u25cf Thodaru Gutuu<\/strong> \u2013 This prominent house at Thodar was constructed by Devu Balipa, and has housed the essence of the Kodamanithaya legend within itself since its establishment. Hence, fragments of the bhootaradhane ritual take place here as well. The procession of the gold and silver entourages of the spirit starts from this house during every bhootakola, known as the bhandara. There are also other prominent homes associated with the Kodamanithya legacy namely \u2013 Padyodi Guttu, Maari Guttu, Haanya Guttu, Mudodi Guttu, Bardila Guttu and Bardila Barke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"http:\/\/shrikshetrathodar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC_0228-300x200.jpg\")
\u25cf Gaaligudde<\/strong> \u2013 This is the place where Kodamanithaya presented himself in the form f light at Thodar. This place, which is naturally the root of all spiritual beliefs associated with this temple, was actually forgotten about until a long time. However, in 1988, the spot was re-disovered through a ritual of questioning the deities; which yielded an answer that there shall be a lamp at the spot if people went excavating. True to the prediction, an earthen lamp was discovered at the same spot and eventually a shrine was established over it, which has since then been the centre of all ritualistic activities associated with Kodamanithaya.<\/p>\n
