|June 29, 2025
THE state festival Mysuru Dasara will be celebrated in a grand manner in Mysuru from September 22 to October 2, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Saturday.
This year, it is celebrated over 11 days, rather than the usual 10, due to a rare astronomical occurrence.
Speaking to media persons after the high-powered committee meeting in Bengaluru, the CM said that over 10 lakh people are expected to attend the celebrations.
The high-powered committee has authorised the CM to decide on the chief guest to inaugurate the celebrations. Siddaramaiah said there were suggestions on inviting a woman or a Gandhian as chief guest, and he would decide on it within a week or 15 days.
