Dasara, also known as ‘Naada Habba’ or the State festival, is a much anticipated annual event in Karnataka’s cultural calendar. While many outside the State associate the festival with only the majestic Jamboo Savari and Torchlight Parade in Mysuru, the bedazzling celebrations of Dasara go well beyond just one city, with several districts indulging in the grandeur and tradition in their own way for 10 days.
This is a selection of stories by The Hindu’s Karnataka reporters showcasing the array of festivities from different regions and the many novel ways in which the festival is becoming bigger and more opulent with each passing year.
