Mysore Dasara 2008
October 4, 2008 – 3:52 pm
Durga Puja is here now and the 10th day is celebrated as dasami or dasara. The origin of Dasara goes way back to the Vijayanagar dynasty in 15th Century. The Wodeyars of Mysore continued this colourful & religious celebration under the leadership of Raja Wodeyar in the year 1610. Dasara is also known as the ‘Navarathri’, where nine days of worship & celebration culminate on the 10th day, known as ‘Vijaydashami’. In mysore dasara is celebrated in a grand manner, which attracts tourist from all over the world.
Those who want to be a part of this festival, should make their hotel booking well in advance as there will not be any room left in Mysore then. I have had this experience few years back. I have found a site which has useful information on Mysore dasara. Visit http://mysoredasara.com/Dasara/ to know all about Mysore Dasara this year.
You can almost all info you need there like food mela, schedule etc. Also, they have important and emergency helpline numbers.
Happy Dasara To All
