Awash with a million lights, Mysuru is astounding tourists and locals alike as they see the city in a new hue.
The Dasara illumination covers a stretch of 124 km this year besides 96 circles that have been tastefully lit up. The lights are on from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., providing ample time for the public to soak in the grandeur of the heritage city at leisure. Going by the initial response, it appears that the illumination is set to steal the Dasara thunder.
Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) Limited has been vested with the responsibility of illuminating Mysuru. The Karnataka Government has released ₹4.5 crore exclusively for the purpose this year. Though work on putting up lights is yet to be completed, the bulk of the work has been completed. Roads are getting choked with people driving slowly along the illuminated streets to soak in the experience.
