Mysuru has geared up for the grand celebration of Dasara festival

With just last couple of days left for the onset of the grand festival of Navratri, the entire land of Bharat is gearing up like never before.

There are few places in India where the festival of Dasara holds great historic and mythological reverence. Mysore is a world famous name for the pomp and energy with which Dasara – Nada Habba is celebrated.

Mysuru, as it is locally called in Kannada is an iconic name when it comes to Dasara in Karnataka.

This year, 2019, the city has already geared up for the festival. The preparations have been happening for the past few months and are still taking few last minute attentions at this hour.

The elephants have been under the parade training for several days now. To witness the practise walking of the Jumbo Sawari event is a sight to behold.

Get up early in the morning and reach the path along where the long line of all the parading elephant walk one after the other on the roads with their mahuts (caretaker)

The roads have been in perfect form. 

The public walls have been painted with traditional art and designs that represent out state and culture.

The street lightings have begun to switch on. And the entire city has been decked as a new bride.

This year, Mysuru’s first ever fly-over has been decked with grand lighting décor. It is glittering!
