The annual Dasara festivities at Mysuru Palace reaffirm India’s rich cultural diversity through a thoughtfully curated lineup of music and dance performances spanning genres like ghazals, Carnatic music, folk-art traditions, and instrumental fusions. The event strengthens India’s reputation as a global hub for heritage arts while encouraging engagement among connoisseurs as well as younger audiences with segments like Yuva Dasara.
For local economies tied to tourism in Karnataka-including hospitality and crafts-the series is highly likely to drive visitor influx owing to its prestige and mass appeal during one of India’s biggest festivals.
