Srirangapatna: While the entire Srirangapatna soaked in lights, cultural programmes, processions and decorations for Dasara, a celebration that is steeped in history, the Batheri remained in the dark as no one even cared to illuminate this structure that has deep roots in history.
For the record, in the previous years, the Batheri was the centre of attraction as all cultural programmes were held here attracting crowds. The entire place is usually illuminated to reflect the yesteryear grandeur and visitors were pulled by its attraction. This year, however, not even a single light was lit here.
