Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa, who is also in charge of Mysuru district, said here on Saturday that the forthcoming Dasara would be a traditional event which would reflect culture and there would be no wasteful expenditure.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, he had said that this year’s Dasara would be scaled down in view of the drought but rephrased it to say that it would be a traditional event.
Speaking to media persons after the Dasara executive committee meeting, Mr. Mahadevappa said the Dasara events would be held as usual with emphasis on tradition and culture but it would eschew ostentation. There would also be emphasis on securing more sponsors for the programmes and lighting arrangements would also be in place.
