After a gap of several years, the Besige Mela is back at the Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) grounds at Doddakere Maidan in Mysuru.
Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) Chairperson Hemanth Kumar told The Hindu that the exhibition, which used to draw crowds during the holiday season, had not been held since 2012 for various reasons.
“The Besige Mela had not been held for the last ten years due to various reasons including elections, rains or COVID-19. We decided to resume it from this year”, he said.
