The 10-day Dasara festival of the Wadiyars with all the royal paraphernalia and traditions dating back to centuries came to a close in what was a throwback to the past, on Tuesday.
Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar completed the religious rites and rituals associated with the Navaratri celebrations of the royal family with the procession to Bhuvaneshwari temple in the palace precincts.
Yaduveer was accompanied by a retinue of palace staff, priests and family members with the caparisoned elephants leading from the front and Nadaswara artists playing music.
