Mysuru: BJP OBC Morcha State President R. Raghu Kautilya has opined that this year’s Dasara inauguration would have held greater significance had both International Booker Prize winners — writer Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi — jointly lit the ceremonial lamp.
Responding on ‘X’ to the State Government’s decision to invite only Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate Nada Habba Dasara, Raghu Kautilya reminded that the festival has always begun with a ritual offering to Goddess Chamundeshwari, the presiding deity of the land.
