Bhoothas according to mythology are grotesque goblins who form part of the army of Rudra Shiva. Nilalohita Rudra(one of the aspects of Shiva) is said to have created eleven crores of Bhoothas. They often fought the Asuras or Demons, siding with Gods. Being the lord of these, Shiva is often called Bhoothanatha.

However, prayers are offered at this temple during maghanes and coconuts are offered during the Maghanes and the President’s Bhetis. This Temple is also included in the Vadhu Vara Bhetis.
