Ahead of the arrival of Dasara elephants to Mysuru, arrangements are on at the Mysuru Palace where the jumbos will camp for about two months, undergoing training for the Jamboo Savari or the finale of the festivities.
Temporary sheds for housing the gentle giants have commenced and the work on constructing tents for housing the mahouts, kavadis and their family members who accompany the jumbos also started. The works have been given a start well in advance to avoid last-minute preparations.
