Mysuru gears up to ring in the New Year

Ring in the New Year with fireworks, light classical music, and the Police Band at Mysuru Palace!

The iconic Mysuru palace which is the cynosure of all eyes and the masthead of tourism will be the backdrop in which thousands of people will ring in the New Year at midnight.

For, there will be fireworks lighting up the sky as the clock strikes 12 at midnight in the backdrop of the illuminated palace making the new year celebrations a memorable event.

Fire works as an event to ring on January 1, 2017, and the district administration and the palace board instantly recognised its potential to promote tourism and has been a regular affair since then but for a break during the pandemic.

The colorful images of the illuminated palace in the foreground and fireworks lighting up the dark skies at night instantly took the social media by storm.

The images in terms of grandeur matched the best from the major cities across the world which have a tradition of ringing in the new year with fireworks lighting up the skies in the backdrop of the landmark monuments and buildings.  

The fire works will commence at midnight and last a good 15 minutes prior to which the public will be treated to a slew of cultural programmes including light classical music. But the show piece will be the performance from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. by the Police Band which has a strong following given the level of professionalism they have achieved in playing instrumental music.

The countdown to the celebrations began more than a week ago when the Palace Flower Show was inaugurated by the Chief Minister, Mr. Siddaramaiah, on December 23 and will go on till December 31.
