Mysuru: With the illuminated Mysore Palace in the backdrop, thousands of New Year revellers were awestruck by the fireworks display at Doddakere Maidan from 12 am to 12.15 am as the crowd cheered “Happy New Year” at the stroke of midnight.
Earlier, the Police Band performed at the Mysore Palace premises from 11 pm to 12 am and at the stroke of midnight, the Palace lights were switched on and fireworks began. It was “party-all-night” yesterday at various hotels and resorts which were packed with revellers who danced their way out to forget bitter experiences they faced last year and welcome the New Year with open arms.
