Member of the erstwhile royal family of Mysore Pramoda Devi's mother Puttachinnammanni passed away due to age-related ailments early on Friday. She was 98.
The sudden demise may cast a shadow on the rituals undertaken by the erstwhile royal family as part of Vijayadashami celebrations.
The Jumboo Savari, however, is expected to be held as usual as it is organised by the Karnataka government.
Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is scheduled to inaugurate the event at the Amba Vilas Palace premises between 3.40 pm and 4.10 pm.
The 'Vajramusti Kalaga', a unique form of wrestling using knuckleduster-like weapon, was one of the key events of the day to be held inside the Amba Vilas Palace.
