According to sources the months of September and October are filled with occasions and festivities. Adding to the list is the upcoming Mysore or Mysuru Dasara or commonly known as Dasara. Regarded as the state festival of Karnataka, this 10-day event is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Goddess Chamundeshwari of Chamundi Hill, who killed the buffalo headed demon, Mahishasura. This year the Mysuru Dasara had begun on 21 September and culminates on September 30.
Meanwhile Vijayadashmi is considered the most auspicious day of the festival as it believed that on this day the demon was killed denoting the victory of good over evil. It was then that the name of Mysuru city was supposedly derived from demon, Mahishasura.Moreover on this occasion, the city of Mysuru is adorned with beautiful lights and decoration and furthermore one of the main attractions of this festival is how elaborately the Mysore Palace lights up during this time. From the first day of the festival, the palace is illuminated with over 100,000 light bulbs lit from 7 pm to 10 pm till the last day.
