Mysore/Mysuru: Curtains came down on Dasara-2020 with a simple yet traditional ‘Jumboo Savari’ procession taken out within the premises of Mysore Palace in presence of a handful of audience yesterday. The caparisoned elephants, led by the Golden Howdah carrying jumbo ‘Captain’ Abhimanyu, accompanied with four others, marched 270 metres inside the Palace to complete the procession that was scaled down due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Two tableaux, two contingents of Mounted Police and a few cultural troupes were part of the procession that took hardly 23 minutes to walk 270 metres ahead of the Jumbo team. Abhimanyu successfully completed his maiden mission of carrying the Golden Howdah in which the panchaloha idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari — the presiding deity of the Mysuru — was placed.
