A ten-day royal spectacle of caparisoned elephants, palace illuminations, and cultural performances.
Mysuru Dasara is Karnataka's state festival (Nada Habba), a ten-day celebration marking the victory of good over evil. The Mysore Palace is illuminated with nearly 100,000 bulbs every evening, while the city hosts cultural programs, wrestling competitions, food festivals, and exhibitions. The grand finale is the Jumboo Savari — a spectacular procession through the streets of Mysuru.
