Mysuru: A first-of-its-kind ‘Lantern Park’ was inaugurated in city last evening by Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh. The park has been set up at Dasara Exhibition Grounds near the Zilla Panchayat Block and has been implemented by the Department of Tourism at a cost of Rs.1.50 crore at an area of 15,000 square feet.
Apart from the colourful display of thousands of LED lights, the main attraction at the Lantern Park is a glowing structure of Mahishasura Mardhini Goddess Chamundeshwari sitting on a lion. With bright lights beaming from the statue, it gives a real-world experience to the viewer.
