Note 64 — Chapter III · DISEASE DEITIES.
Reading edition
It appears that dancing often forms a part of the process of exorcism. Frequently dancing is accompanied by the beating of cymbals and drums and other loud noises. A mandalu is convened at the house of the person who is to be exorcised i.e., a number of bhuvās are invited to attend along with a number of low-caste drummers, and afterwards the ceremony of utār is gone through; the utār is then taken to a cemetery.64
