	~~==Culture==~~
	Worshiping originated from Halumatha. Stone is the source for the soil. Soil is the source for the plants. Plants are the source for the animals. This may be the reason for worshiping Almight in Stone. Through the ages, this stone worship tradition might have led to worshiping [[Shiva]] as [[Beeralingeswara]], [[Mailara Linga]], Malladevaru, [[Mahadeshwara]], Nanjundeswara, Mallappa, Mallara, Mallikarjuna etc. Even the worshiping of shakti as [[Yellamma]], Renuka, Chowdamma, Kariyamma, Chamundi, Bhanashankari, Gullamma etc. might have come from this tradition. Even today, ancestral worship as deities is very common. The worship of ancestors like Revanasidda, [[Rama]], [[Hanuman]], [[Krishna]], [[Keshava]], [[Ranganatha]], Eerathimmanna, [[Tirupati Thimmappa]], [[Venkateswara]], [[Kalidasa]], [[Siddarama]], [[Kanakadasa]] etc. as Devaru very much exists in [[Kuruba Gowda]] traditions. [[Kuruba]]s worship [[Shiva]] and [[Vishnu]] concept of the Almighty with the equal devotion.
