Glimpses of Mysuru’s royal Dasara in Bengaluru

Dasara is here, and the festivities have begun across Bengaluru. Though popular in the city of Mysuru, Bengaluru is no less when it comes to celebrating the Nada habba. With unique dolls set up at homes to huge events like Garba nights, Bengaluru is celebrating the festivity with fervor.

Amidst the colourful programmes, the India Institute of World Culture (IIWC), along with Maya Films and Maharaja Shri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Foundation, has put on display an exhibition of unseen photographs of the Royal Dasara by Mysuru’s veteran photographer K.V. Subba Rao and exclusive glimpses from the royal family’s collection.  On its opening day, the event was attended by Kamakshi Devi Wadiyar and Indrakshi Devi Wadiyar, daughters of Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar.
