All roads to Mysore

The Mysore Palace occupies focal point stage during the Dasara festival. This year the nine-day red-letter day started on September 28.
TO the uninitiated, the multi-hued, A- festival of the Mysore Dasara conjures up images of show and glory, maharajas and palaces, tradition and punctilious fervour, elephants and bright lights. Nothing much has changed in the last 400 years. Between September 28 and October 6, the commemoration of Dasara will once again regale the millions of tourists who bunch to the southern Indian city of Mysore from all corners of the earth to witness the 401st edition of a festival that began unreservedly simply as a thanksgiving ceremony to the Hindu god Indra for providing propitious rain.
The Mysore Dasara has had a close link with the Vijayanagara rulers (A.D. 1336 – 1565) and later with the Wodeyar rulers, the erstwhile maharajas of Mysore. Now it is renowned across Karnataka as a State festival with a unique mix of the religious and the secular. The festivities have also assumed the sort of a jamboree that combines the modern and the traditional without diluting the unswerving essence of the events. The festival has gained concern as an advertisement for the cultural diversity and achievements of Karnataka, and over the quondam few decades, it has served as a platform for the promotion of tourism and citizenry arts. The government, which has earmarked Rs.10 crore for the celebrations, expects up to 50 lakh visitors to Mysore during the festivities.
