[edit] Vishnumurthy

I am bit confused by the article take on this spirit. According to the article, this spirit originated in Tulu regions then migrated to Malayala regions. However, I have read that(unfortunately, I have lost the link and no matter of googling I was able to get back it) and this according to Tulu views, the spirit in fact a import to Tulu region from Malayala region. I wonder if somebody could cross check it.

Found the article. From the article;

Vishnumurty is a popular spirit in the southern part of the district in the areas adjoining the state of Kerala. The Vishnumurthy cult is imported from the Malayalam speaking area of the neighbouring states.
