Mysore Palace and the whole city is geared up for the 'Vijayadashami' procession ('Jamboo Savari'), on Wednesday, which will bring the curtains down on the 10-day 'Nada Habba Dasara 2022'.
Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, a member of the erstwhile royal family, took out the 'Vijaya Yatre' on the Palace premises after the tradition of 'Vajramushti Kalaga' by the Jattis of Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, Bengaluru and Channapatna, near Savari Thotti.
