Mysore Dasara...

This was my first Dasara in Mysore. Though I wasn't here for the main events, I saw the grandeur with which this city celebrates Dasara. The yuva dasara event organised was a big hit with top stars from kannada film industry and bollywood singers like Sunidhi Chauhan, Usha Uthapa, sonu Nigam entertaining the audience. The sight of the illuminated palace from the Chamundi hills was really awesome.

The Mysore tourism department seems to have gone digital. mysoredasara.com is the official website. They even have a digital gallery where they have planned to upload videos & photos of celebrations. They are also uploading videos of the dasara celebrations on youtube as mysoretourism.

I had been to home to celebrate Dusara, so missed the final two days of the events in Mysore. Anyways there's hardly any days (november 8,9) left for another great festival...the DeepavaLi.
