The major attraction of 9-day Dasara is elephants. Thousands of children are eager to see elephants at palace premises. Last year state government used just five elephants . This year the government decided to use 8 elephants of which 5 male and three female.
Abhimanyu will lead the elephant brigade. The other elephants are Gopalaswamy, Vikrama, Kaveri, Dhananjaya, Ashwathama, Chaitra and Lakshmi. The elephants would reach Mysuru Aranya Bhavana, stay there for three days and would enter palace premises on 16th morning.
