Mysuru: The first rehearsal of the Jumboo Savari inauguration, where the Chief Minister will shower flower petals on the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari placed inside the Golden Howdah carried by elephant Arjuna, was held at the Mysore Palace this morning.
The rehearsal was performed by a team of forest officials and all the 15 elephants and over 24 horses were part of the event along with the uniformed Police Band that played the music. Interestingly, it was Mahout Vinu, who sat on Arjuna instead of Sannappa as he walked near the raised platform that was set up instead of a stage to give a feel of the main event to be held on Sept. 30.
