Kerala and northern Karnataka along the Sea shore has variants of the ritual. In Kerala they are known as Theyyam and in Northern Karnakata as daivakola and I think bhoothakkola in certain cases. ( I am not sure about the rituals in Karnantaka and their names.) AFIK the ritual is only there in this part of the country/world.

India is so big and so diverse with innumerable rituals. I think people at every area has something different to share
