The grand Mysuru palace of the Wodeyars turns into an even grander spectacle on special occasions when the 1 lakh-odd lamps light up this spectacular wood-and-stone edifice. The city turns into a veritable feast for the senses during the 10-day celebration of Dasara with food, traditional games, performances, and an impressive procession of the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari atop an elephant.
