The veteran politician also recalled that during his childhood days, he would walk up to Chamundi Hills to witness the glorious event. He also mentioned that Mysuru royal kings struggled a lot to ensure the festival is celebrated in their region in a very grand way.

The customary durbar event is only limited for the Royal family and the staff and police on Dasara duty. All have been vaccinated.
Entry at the event for the public comes with restrictions like wearing a face mask, hand sanitization and maintenance of social distance.
