Palace surroundings spruced up for the low-key Dasara celebrations
The magnificent golden throne at the Mysuru palace is expected to be assembled for the forthcoming Dasara festivities on October 1. Like last year, the Dasara-2021 celebrations will also be a low-key affair in view of the pandemic situation. The festivities commence atop Chamundi Hills on October 7.
The scion of erstwhile Mysuru royal family, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, would be holding ‘Khas Durbar’ sitting on the throne during the Navaratri celebrations of the Wadiyar family.
The tradition of ‘Khas Durbar’ by the titular head of the royal family has been in practice since generations and the entry for watching the grand spectacle is restricted to invitees.
