—-❤️❤️❤️ಮೈಸೂರು ದಸರಾ ಎಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಸುಂದರ❤️❤️❤️—- Dasara is one of the most popular festivals celebrated in the city of Mysore. It is also the state-festival of Karnataka. The festival is celebrated as Dussehra and Vijayadashami in North India.
Dasara is celebrated on the 10th day of Ashvin month which usually falls in the month of September or October. Vijayadashami is the celebration of the victory of truth over evil. The day also marks the killing of demon Mahishasura by Hindu Goddess Chamundeshwari. Mahishasura is the demon whose slaying by the Goddess gave the name Mahishasura Mardini.
It is said that after falling of Vijayanagar kingdom, the Wodeyars of Mysore continued the Dasara Festival. It was initially started by Raja Wodeyar I (1578-1617 CE) in the year 1610 at Srirangapatna.
The Dasara celebrated in Mysore attracts visitors from across the world. In Mysore, the Dasara festivities begin with decorating the entire city with flowers, diyas and bulbs. The Mysore city is famous for its gala procession of richly bedecked elephants on the brightly lit streets of the city on Dussehra.
