Pramoda Devi Wadiyar Clarifies Mysuru Dasara Ritual Suggestions and Royal Family's Position
Pramoda Devi Wadiyar of the Mysuru royal family clarified her suggestion to hold the Jamboo Savari on Rathotsava day instead of Vijayadashami, citing disruptions to private religious rituals caused by state cultural events and police conduct. She emphasized that her proposal was a suggestion, not a criticism, and thanked Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar for his willingness to address concerns through dialogue. Wadiyar also justified the royalty paid by the government for using the Ambari and noted their residence in Mysuru Palace is protected by court orders, not government favor.
