Mysuru Dasara – Jumbo Savari 2021

The Dasara procession begins at the Palace with uniformed soldiers, horses, caparisoned elephants, dancers and floats accompanied by brass bands playing evocative Indian melodies. The Palace Guard and Mysore Lancers march by as graceful folk-dancers twirl and swirl between the floats. The majestic Elephant adorned by golden anklets, bells and chains carries the city’s Patron Goddess Chamundeshwari in a bowdab. This extravagant celebration comes to an end with a torchlight parade by the State Police, as fireworks light up the night sky.
