Srirangapatna Dasara to get special touch this year
The Srirangapatna Dasara festival in Mandya district is set to feature new cultural programs and a 'Yuva Sambhrama' event for students this October. Officials are coordinating logistics to ensure the event highlights local heritage and traditions.
Why it matters
The festival serves as a significant cultural and economic driver for the region, promoting local tourism and artistic talent.
Minister in-charge of Mandya district N. Cheluvarayaswamy on Tuesday (September 15) said Srirangapatna Dasara would be organised in a grand and distinctive manner this year, keeping in mind the historical significance and rich cultural heritage of the historical town.
Addressing a Dasara preparatory meeting at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Mandya, he said Srirangapatna had its own unique historical and cultural importance and the celebrations should reflect its legacy. Instead of following the routine format, efforts were being made to introduce new features to the festival, he said.
Yuva Sambhrama will be held on October 12 and 13 at the Srirangapatna taluk stadium, providing college students from across Mandya district an opportunity to showcase their artistic talents. The programme will be modelled on the Yuva Sambhrama held during Mysuru Dasara.
