Dasara Fair


Dasara Fair is an event to mark the victory of good over evil. Mysore celebrates Navaratri in the form of this fair. The tremendous popularity of the festival has earned it the status "Naada Habba" or the State Festival of Karnataka. It is a great fair to be a part of as the fair features a number of events that are an integral part of the culture of the place.

The whole of Mysore boasts a great look during the festival. The whole city is decorated with lights. Tourists from far off corners of the world come down to this city in order to participate in this fair. Though a number of events are organized during the festival but the vijaydashami procession at the end of the event is the prime attraction.
