Mysore Dasara Festival - A Dazzling Socio-cultural Event
The Festival that celebrates the grandeur of the City's royal heritage! In the city of Mysore, Dussehra accolades the Goddess Chamundeswari, who slew the demon Mahishasur. Mysore Dasara is the ‘Naada Habba’ or State festival of Karnataka.

Starting from Mysore Palace, the procession ends in Bannimantap. The event also features an idol of the Goddess Chamundeshwari, which is carried on the top of a splendidly adorned elephant. There is a torch-light parade at the Bannimantap grounds on the outskirts, proceeding in the evening.
