Mahishamandalotsava Celebrated in Mysuru with Tributes to Mahisha and Ambedkar
The Mahishamandalotsava was celebrated in Mysuru with members of the Mahisha Mandalotsava Committee, led by former Mayor Purushotham, offering floral tributes to Mahisha atop Chamundi Hill for the first time without issues, following Home Minister Priyank Kharge's intervention. The event included garlanding B.R. Ambedkar's statue and lighting candles near miniatures of Buddha, Mahishasura, and Ambedkar. Speakers emphasized viewing Mahisha as a historical ruler rather than a mythological demon, releasing a related book by Vittal Vaggan. Police maintained tight security during the event.
