Mysuru: Nadahabba of Karnataka, Mysuru Dasara which is celebrated in a grand manner every year especially, will be a low-key affair this year in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the increase in the number of cases, there will be no large scale gathering and the event will be streamed live for the citizens. However, the final decision will be taken soon by the state government.

The stakeholders will also decide on which traditional festivals and sports can be held. The forest department is yet to decide on the elephants which will participate in the Dasara festivities.

“Due to the current situation it will be a tough task to hold Dasara in a grand manner, therefore, it will be a low-key affair like that of Puri Rath Yatra,” Minister of Tourism, Kannada & Culture C T Ravi was quoted speaking to The New Indian Express.
