They accorded a grand welcome to tourists at the Mysuru Palace. Titular King Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wodeyar greeted the tourists with flowers. The tourists flooded Yaduveer Wadiyar with questions, and he advised them to contact the Mysore Palace Board to learn more about the private durbar, golden throne, and Dasara jumbos.
Mysuru Travels Association President Prashanth said, “Due to the pandemic situation, the tourism has been facing a huge setback in Mysuru. People who depend on tourism for their livelihood are going through a bad phase. The Mysuru Dasara Jamboo Savari which has been restricted only to Mysuru Palace should be extended till Bannimantap so that more people get work.”
