The Mysore Dasara, yearly presents a colorful spectacle. With the caparisoned elephants, the grand procession of the Goddess and a glimpse of the royal grandeur of the yore, it is the greatest show. The state government has allocated Rs.10 crore for the nada-habba this year.
A total of 19 committees have been formed in Mysore to organise the event.
The extravaganza planned in front of the majestic Mysore Palace will have performances by national- level artistes while various venues like Veene Seshanna Bhavan, Rangacharla Bhavan and Jaganmohan Palace will showcase performances by artistes from within the state.
Meanwhile the pachyderms, the main attraction at the festival will be given a grand send-off on August 18 at Veeranahosahalli near Husur. The elephant that will carry the 'howdah' and accompanying elephants will be accorded a traditional reception at Mysore Palace on the 21st.
The innovation this year is the concept of a 'Mahila Mathu Makkala Dasara' and a 'Raitha Dasara' with programmes specifically meant for women, children and farmers.
