Jamboo Savari: Full dress rehearsal on Wednesday
The Hindu
This is the first time in the recent past that the Vijayadashami procession is beginning after 5 p.m
The full dress rehearsal of Jamboo Savari will be held on the palace premises here on Wednesday.
On this day, the 21-gun salute will also be accorded after the flagging off of the procession with the participation of all five elephants led by Abhimanyu, which is carrying the golden howdah for the second time in a row.
With only a few cultural troupes allowed to participate for keeping the centuries-old tradition alive, the famed Jamboo Savari may end in less than an hour, covering a distance of about 500 metres up to Goddess Bhuvaneshwari temple near the Balarama gate in the palace environs.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
