Mysuru: Member of erstwhile Mysore royal family Pramoda Devi Wadiyar has denied that there was any delay in the Mysore Palace authorities in handing over the Ambari (Golden Howdah) to the District Administration for the Jumboo Savari on Oct. 12.
Responding to the reported delay in the floral offering or ‘Pushparchane’ to Goddess Chamundeshwari, the deity placed inside the Golden Howdah atop the caparisoned lead elephant at the Mysore Palace, she sought to clarify that there was no delay by the Palace authorities in handing over the Ambari. The Ambari was handed over a few minutes after 2 pm, she said.
