Mysuru is at its carnivalesque best during the 10-day ‘Dasara’ festival, falling in October this year. During this time the Mysore Palace is dramatically lit up every evening, while the city is transformed into a gigantic fairground, with concerts, dance performances, sporting demonstrations and cultural events running to packed houses.
On the last day the celebrations are capped off in a grand style. A dazzling procession of richly costumed elephants, garlanded idols, liveried retainers and cavalry march through the streets to the rhythms of clanging brass bands.
Take a photo tour through the grand festivities.
