The bhukas believe that the spirit children of their mother deity Kikanuti travel the world and visit her earthly children. At festival times, bhuka shamans don these ritual masks and are possessed by the intelligence that rests in them. Possession lasts until the shaman is overcome by exhaustion and loses consciousness. The mask is then removed and reverently stored away until the next festival. Generally, each bhuka village is the guardian of one mask, and they are all brought to a grand dance held by all the villages. Each mask takes the same body slot that a helmet or headband would. Some examples are given below.
