This work is an illustrated documentation on the Halakki tribe of Uttara Kannada district, intended to help young readers visualize the culture and traditions of Halakki Vokkaligas by bringing light on their rich heritage. 

Uttara Kannada is a coastal district of Karnataka with the Arabian Sea on one side and western ghats on the other. Most of the district is covered with lush green forests and rivers. Halakki Vokkaligas are one of the indigenous communities residing in many parts of the district. Their way of life, food habits, clothing, occupation, culture and tradition show a very strong inclination towards nature. 

Since childhood, I have interacted with this community on several occasions, which sparked an interest in me to undertake this documentation. The information collected through background study and ethnographic research is presented in the form of a visual diary of the protagonist Putti, as a collection of new experiences each day at her native place. Throughout her stay, Putti learns about the lifestyle, culture and values of the Halakki tribe and writes her experiences in her diary.
