Mysore Dasara is a Royal Festival Celebrating victory of Truth over Evil. Legend has it that the Goddess Chamundeeswari or Durga slew the demon Mahishasuran on Vijayadashami day. Dasara is a 10-day festival in the region culminating on Vijayadashami or tenth day. The day marks the successful conclusion of the preceding nine days. Vijayadashami is also a day of victory of the King and his subjects, be it in a battle or day-to-day governance.
The preceding nine days of Navarathri have celebrations starting only after six days. The sixth day is in honour of goddess Saraswathi. Eight day is dedicated to Durga and Ninth day is for Lakshmi, goddess of wealth. On tenth day a grand spectacular Procession is held which starts from Mysore Palace and ends in Bannimantap.

Hi, all friends
NAVRATRI
'Nav' means 'nine' and 'ratri' means 'night', thus, 'Navratri' means 'nine nights'. There
are many legends attached to the conception of Navratri like all Indian festivals but
all of them are related to Goddess Shakti (Hindu Mother Goddess) and her various
forms. Though it is one of the most celebrated festivals of Hindu calendar, it holds
special significance for Gujratis and Bengalis and one can see it in the zeal and fervor
of the people with which they indulge in the festive activities of the season.
Thanking
