Mysore/Mysuru: With just five days remaining for the grand Jumboo Savari on Oct. 24, which marks the conclusion of Dasara festivities, the first rehearsal for Dasara grand finale was held at Mysore Palace premises this morning.
The Golden Howdah-carrying elephant Abhimanyu, accompanied by Kumki elephants Varalakshmi and Vijaya, along with seven other elephants, was moved from the place where the Ambari is traditionally tied to the elephant on Vijayadashami Day. They moved slowly in a procession to the dais where VVIPs offer Pushparchane to the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari placed inside the Howdah.
