Mysuru: It was a rare feast as the magnificent cultural extravaganza unfolded at the Mysore Palace here yesterday signalling the culmination of the 10-day Dasara festivities, known for its grandeur and impressive ‘Jumboo Savari’ with elephant ‘Arjuna’ carrying 750-kg Golden Howdah (Ambari) marching majestically to Bannimantap, about 4.5 kms, where Torch Light Parade was held late in the evening.
The procession marked drawing curtains to ‘Naada Habba’ (State Festival). The Vijayadashami procession symbolising the triumph of good over evil and attraction was inherited from the Vijayanagar emperors. It was indeed a royal and elegant event.
