The grand event, where the elephants are received from their respective camps and given a ceremonial reception before they begin their journey to Mysuru for Dasara festivities, will take place as usual at Veeranahosahalli, near Nagarahole National Park.
The elephants will reach Mysuru the same day and they will be housed at the Aranya Bhavan before they are formally welcomed at the palace.
