Mysuru's big Vijayadashami procession - which starts at the Amba Vilas palace and winds its way through the city - was held on Tuesday. Before the procession began, people in their thousands lined the streets of Mysuru in anticipation of the Jamboo Savari or the elephant procession - a tradition that goes back centuries.
Yaduveer Srikantadatta Chamaraja Wodeyar, the man who would have been a maharaja had India retained royal titles, witnessed his first Dasara after his coronation.
The rain made the afternoon pleasant just as the procession began. The Dasara show with the traditional pageantry wound its way through Mysuru as the rain continued off and on.
Bringing up the rear, was the highlight of the procession: the Jamboo Savari.
Arjuna's troop of jumbos, who were also beautifully decorated, too were cheered by the thousands who lined the streets.
