==History==
The earliest recorded history of dasara celebration was during the reign of emperor Devaraya II of the Vijayanagar Empire during the 15th century which has also been attested by the Persian traveler, Abdul Razzak who witnessed this festival during 1442 - 43 AD. When the Wadiyar kings of Mysore who were initially subordinate to the Vijayanagara Empire, following the decline of the empire, declared themselves as rulers. Then, Raja Wadiyar (1578-1617 CE) founded the Kingdom of Mysore and the Wodeyar Dynasty in 1610. He continued the tradition of holding the dasara, first in Srirangapatna which was then their capital and then in Mysore city after they shifted their capital. In 1805, Krishnaraja Wodeyar III introduced the royal tradition of holding a durbar (Royal court) in the Mysore Palace when members of the royal family, courtiers, invited elites and common people of the city attended, and cultural programmes were performed. This tradition is continued even now, though as a private event called the “khasgi (private) durbar” by Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, the former scion of the Wodeyar family. On the durbar days, the present scion of the Wodeyar family occupied the golden thrown with all pomp ans splendour when a march past of the royal elephants and horses is also held; open air musical concerts are a regular feature on the occasion.〔〔
