As the Dasara finale is approaching, all eyes will be on the grand Jamboo Savari when elephants led by tusker Abhimanyu march majestically on the streets of Mysuru. The prime attraction of the procession will be the golden howdah that will be carried by the tall tusker.
A mini-rehearsal for the Vijayadashami procession was held on the palace premises on Saturday. Despite inclement weather, the rehearsal for the procession was held with Abhimanyu and kumkhi elephants Chaitra and Kaveri taking part in it from the place the ‘ambari’ is tied on the back of the lead elephant to the venue in front of the palace forecourt where the dignitaries shower flower petals on the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari to give a start to the grand event.
