[[Mangalore Dasara]] is one of the festivals during which large number of enthusiasts participate in this ritual. It was originated in Udupi District of Karnataka and initially performed during the [[Krishna Janmashtami]]/[[Dahi Handi|Mosarukudike]] and [[Ganesha]] [[Chaturthi]] at [[Mangalore]], [[Udupi]], [[Moodabidri]], [[Kundapur]] and many other places in [[Tulu Nadu]].<ref>{{cite web

Typically, young males form troops of five to ten members or more, which will have three to five males painted and costumed to look like tigers, and a band called ''thaase'' in [[Tulu language|Tulu]] with two or three drummers. This troop is accompanied by the manager of the group. During Navratri, these troops will be roaming the streets of their towns, with the accompanying drum beats of their bands. They stop at homes and businesses or on the roadsides to perform for about ten minutes after which they collect some money from the people who have observed their performance.<ref>{{cite news

The troops perform until the last day of Navratri, and almost all of them form part of the Sharada processions organized by various temples such as [[Mangaladevi Temple|Mangaladevi]], [[Gokarnanatheshwara Temple|Gokarnanatheshwara]] and Venkatramana temple. After the procession is over, performances are stopped and the paint is removed.

== Costumes ==
[[File:ಪಿಲಿತ ವೇಷ.jpg|thumb|A Pilivesha Mask]]
While ''Pili'' means "tiger" in [[Tulu language|Tulu]], dancers also painted themselves with [[leopard]] or [[cheetah]] motifs. The costumes may vary depending on the place, costumes used in [[Mangalore]] is different compared to [[Udupi district]]. Each person will be wearing just a knicker/shorts, which usually has a tiger-skin motif. The rest of his bare body and face is painted with various designs that denote tigers, cheetahs, and leopards. A headgear or mask made of fake fur and sometimes a tail is worn to complete the ensemble.

The paint causes a burning sensation on the skin. But this is endured by the persons to be part of the celebrations and also to earn some extra money in the holiday season. Originally people used to do this as a part of a religious vow. The paint is kept on the body for a couple of days and repainted or retouched as desired.

== Skills ==
