Tulu Nadu or Tulunad is a region and a
Historically, Tulu Nadu lay between the Gangavalli River (Uttara Kannada district) in the north and the Chandragiri River (Kasaragod district) in the south.[8] Currently, Tulu Nadu consists of the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka state and Kasaragod district of Kerala state.[9] This region is not an official administrative entity.[10][11]
Mangalore, the fourth largest (in terms of area and population)[12] and a major city of Karnataka is the largest city of Tulu Nadu.[13] Udupi and Kasaragod are the other major cities of this region.[14]
Moreover, the term "Tulunad" is cited as "Tuḷu Nāṭṭu" in the "Akananuru", which is a classical Tamil poetic work and part of the "Eight Anthologies" (Ettuthokai), a collection of Sangam literature composed around more than 2000 years ago.[15] [16]

According to Keralolpathi, the name Tuluva comes from that of one of the Cheraman Perumal kings of Kerala, who fixed his residence in the northern portion of his dominions just before its separation from Kerala, and who was called Tulubhan Perumal.[17]
Mythology
According to mythology, the district was reclaimed by
History
Ancient period
According to the works of Sangam literature (300 BCE – 300 CE),[21][22][23] Tulu Nadu was one of the 12 socio-geographical regions included in the ancient Tamilakam.[24] Tulu Nadu must certainly at one time have formed part of ancient Kerala (Chera dynasty), where the western coastal dialect of Middle Tamil was spoken.[17] It must have separated from Tamilakam sometime between 300 CE and 500 CE, when the Kadambas invaded the northern portions of Chera kingdom.[17] No definite historical record relating to Tulu Nadu, other than those were found from Sangam literature, have been found of earlier date than 8th or 9th century CE.[17]
