Legend has it that Pulie Badze is named after a brave farmer named ‘Pulie,’ who died while attempting to kill a serpent that was destroying his crops. The serpent swallowed Pulie, and he became a spirit. When Pulie’s family went looking for him, they could hear only his voice. Later, they discovered what had happened and placed a stone in the shape of a chair in the field, telling Pulie to “be seated.” This is how the place got its name, which roughly translates to “seat of Pulie.”
