Makeovers, restorations and beautification are happening in Mysuru and it's all in preparation for one event: Dasara. And the Mysuru City Corporation is desperately trying to make the city look beautiful by roping in artisans. It is a tight balancing act as the civic body has to face flak if something goes wrong or if the political bosses are unimpressed with the aesthetic works. While the official machinery has embarked on “Operation Beautification”, the Mysore Palace that is the royal attraction is being given a smooth shine for the 10-day jamboree. This Weekend Star Supplement gives a glimpse of the finer details of Dasara works, setting the mood for the fiesta.
