Dassara in Bangalore and Mysore





Dassara is the 9th day of the festival of lights; which I celebrated in Bangalore with some other fellows that live there and some that decided to visit. First we started out with a wonderful night on the town in Bangalore. The following day all six of us prepared ourselves for the three hour bus ride to Mysore, a small city outside of Bangalore, where the Dassara festival is largely celebrated. There we were able to stay at Meneka’s cousin’s place with a sweet family including aunty, her two sons and her father (who had amazing stories to share). In Mysore we were able to see the Mysore castle that was beautifully decorated for Dassara and the procession.
