Mysuru: This is the first time in over 400- year history of Wadiyar dynasty that Vijayadashami was celebrated three days after the ten-day Dasara celebrations ended.
The unexpected circumstances arose following the death of two royal family members on Vijayadashami Day (Oct.19). Even as the news of the passing away of Puttarathnammanni (98), mother of Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, broke early in the morning, the celebrations were postponed after consultations with the Gurus of Parakala Mutt.
