Dasara festivities end with spectacular procession in MysuruLast Updated: October 02, 2025, 19:00 ISTRepresentational image (Image: News18)Mysuru, Oct 2 (PTI) Curtains came down on the 11-day-long world-renowned Mysuru Dasara celebrations in this palace city on Thursday, with a spectacular procession on the occasion of Vijayadashami, marking the grand finale.
The Dasara procession is held on “Vijayadashami" day, signifying the victory of good over evil.
The tradition of the Dasara procession continues to this day but now, instead of kings, the idol of the presiding deity of the Mysuru city, Goddess Chamundeshwari, is taken in procession in the howdah.
Dozens of events like food mela, flower show, cultural programmes, farmers’ Dasara, women’s Dasara, Yuva Dasara, children’s Dasara, and poetry recital attracted people this year, along with regular crowd-pullers like the famous Dasara procession (Jamboo Savari), airshow, torch light parade, drone show, and Mysuru Dasara exhibition, turning the city into a carnival of sorts.
