Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recalled watching Dasara procession as a child sitting on his father’s shoulders decades ago.
Speaking at a function organised atop Chamundi Hills to inaugurate the Mysuru Dasara festival on Sunday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said his father had brought him to Mysuru to watch the Dasara procession when he was around five to six years old.
“I watched the Dasara procession sitting on my father’s shoulders,” Mr. Siddaramaiah said recalling that his father had even asked him to fold his hands when the Maharaja seated in the golden howdah atop a caparisoned elephant would pass.
