Purpose: Buddha was perceived as an iconoclast who demolished the devilish hierarchical System's precipices,demonstrating people's liberation and creating the world more equal by smashing the offenders and the bourgeoisie sections of the society. Individuals from many walks of life were drawn to his democratic and equitable Sangha society by his teachings of universal truth and humanity. Gautama Buddha was hailed as the first humanist as well as the first feminist who treated everyone as equal regardless of their caste, creed, race or gender. Buddha pointed man's inquisitive mind to the power that resides within him. Buddhism rejected the study of hegemonic texts as a prerequisite for education or membership in a group or cult. So, irrespective ofclass, religion, gender, or social level, the Buddha embraced or acknowledged everyone as ‘human beings with blood.’ There were many regional places and temples following the principles of Buddhism all across the Kerala.Methodology: One prism that looks at culture as a local development is the regional turn in cultural studies. Regional culture is an amalgamation of regionally distinct activities, customs, rituals, food culture, games,Buddhist culture, behavioural tendencies and so on. It is a collection of written, oral, and performative traditions of numerous ethno-linguistic groups in various locales and communities that, although extensive intrinsic mobility, may nevertheless be described as having unique geographical contexts or identities. The regional paradigm to culture analyses regional narratives as distinct cultural manifestations. Finding/Result: Cultural Studies has radically turned its attention to regionality, prompting a reconsideration of culture as a way of life derived from localised actions, rather than as a globally generated uniform concept. The aim of this article entitled Revisiting the Buddhist Places: An Analysis of Select Buddhist Rituals, Folklores,and Customsis to rediscover and examine Buddhist-related places, temples as well as re-read the customs and ritualistic practises that exist there.Paper type: Exploratory research paper
