Shree Rajan Daiva Grama Chavadi is located at Sullia in Aithoor Village of Puttur Taluk, DK.The deity worshipped in this "Sthana"* is "Shree Rajan". It is believed that, Shree Rajan had approached a family in Shiradi for shelter. But no one could hear him since the family was too big and there was lot of noise of children crying, cattle mooing and other agricultural activities. Annoyed with this, he cursed them saying "let every generation in the family have a deaf person". Since then they say, that the family has a deaf person in every generation. He is also called as “Shiradi Bhuta” because of this reason. Later, he came to Sullia and occupied the place, guarding the family as family deity till date. Off late, he is considered as the village deity or Grama Daiva of the village.
