Stunts on bikes, horses leave thousands of gathering spellbound
Mysuru: The hair-raising stunts, the spectacle of 1,500 drones, spectacular horse riding and jumping by Mounted Police, the freshness of Chende Mela and the eye-catching Torchlight Parade.
This melange of attractions marked the culmination of Nada Habba Mysuru Dasara-2024, at Torchlight Parade Grounds in Bannimantap here last evening.
Despite drizzling from 6.15 pm, the enthusiastic crowd waiting to catch a mix of adventurous stunts, did not feel it as a deterrent. As the intermittent rainfall was witnessed throughout the day, the ground was already wet and M-Sand was laid to address the lacunae caused due to alluvial surface, that may prove a hurdle in the smooth performance of acrobatics during the parade.
Drone Show, albeit on a large scale, left thousands of audience awestruck, with 1,500 drones dotting the skies in various formations.
The sound of Chede Mela, organised for the first time in Dasara and performed by Kala Nation troupe of Kerala, reverberated through the ground. The artistes performed for the musical notes of songs like Eka Danthaya…, Shivam Shivam… and Chinna Chinna Aasai (in Malayalam), offering a musical treat to the gathering.
After a gap of 14 years, show jumping was also organised, during which the horse riders jumped over the horizontal wooden bars in precision.
