A Bhuta sculpture is a traditional Indian folk art piece, typically found in the coastal regions of Karnataka and Goa. These sculptures represent Bhutas—spirits or deities worshiped in Tuluva and Kannada cultures, often associated with ancestral spirits and nature gods. Crafted from wood, these figures are intricately detailed, with exaggerated facial features and vibrant colors. Bhuta sculptures are often used in ritualistic ceremonies and are believed to provide protection and blessings to the community.
