Navarathri in Mysuru concluded last evening with a spectacular ‘Jumboo Savari’ within the confines of the Mysore Palace. This year too, the celebrations were muted under the shadow of COVID-19.

But inside the Palace, more than 8,000 people were allowed to witness the procession even as the Government had restricted the entry to 500 people. Only the common man was stopped at the gates while politicians, Police and officials, their friends, relatives and followers were allowed free entry and the venue looked like a celebration in a normal year throwing all COVID norms out of the window.

The procession of Howdah Elephant Abhimanyu, who was carrying the 750-kg Golden Howdah with the decked up idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari placed inside, went on smoothly and he carried the Ambari with grace and majesty.
