Experience mesmerizing drone shows at Mysuru's Dasara festivities, with free public viewing on October 6 and 7.
A scintillating drone show mesmerised the crowd gathered at Bannimantap Torchlight Parade grounds in Mysuru on Sunday evening.
The drone display is the latest addition to the attractions in the ongoing Dasara festivities in Mysuru.
The dazzling drones lit the skies above the Torchlight Parade grounds in enchanting formations, much to the glee of the crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.
The administration has decided to allow the public to watch the drone shows for free on October 6 and 7. However, entry will be only with a pass for the drone displays scheduled to be held on October 11 and 12, said Muni Gopalaraju, director of Technical Department of Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) Ltd.
An estimated 1,500 drones will be used in the drone display, he said.
Mr. Gopalaraju also pointed out that CESC had introduced an ‘electric chariot’ during the ensuing Dasara festivities.
The ‘electric chariot’ will traverse through different parts of the city informing the general public about the electrical safety, usage of solar power and various schemes of the State government.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
