Ep 2: Bhoota Aradhana

Mishal talks about a person in Mangalore who was brought back to life after death by the Bhootas (ghosts). Appa, who lived in Mangalore with his family died after a severe heart attack. Appa went through a lot of tensions due to some responsibilities – he wanted to make a temple for the Bhootas and he had asked his brother Narayan for financial help but was refused. He had also taken a responsibility of getting Sundara, an orphan married but the alliance broke. Appa's house was also in debt. Before dying, Appa had called out Ventaka's name and but there was no one by this name in his family. Once a driver named Ananda and his master Lakshmi in Mangalore both practice what is called Bhoota Aradhana – Pleasing the Ghosts. Ananda dresses like a Bhoota between February and March every year and blesses his devotees. Ananda blessed Appa and got him back to life. Appa's tensions have ended after the Bhootas bless him.
