The festival is about to open, and ticket bookings for its premium events are now being opened by the Karnataka government and Dasara authorities. Thousands of tourists and devotees are expected to visit Mysuru during the next week, from October 11 to October 21, so early booking is needed to make sure the grand celebrations happen in reserved spaces.
The Dasara Committee has introduced the popular Gold Card, together with separate tickets for the Jumboo Savari procession, Panjina Kavayathu (Torchlight Parade) and the Drone Show. All bookings are organised through the festival's official ticketing partner.

Important Information for Visitors
Local authorities advised that visitors should book early as premium seating categories sell out quickly. Gold Cards and Jumboo Savari tickets are assigned seats with seat numbers, while seating for the Drone Show and Torchlight Parade is generally first-come, first-served in enclosures.
Visitors should also note that entry to all venues is subject to security checks and crowd-management regulations. The Mysuru Zoo remains closed on Tuesdays, and standard operating hours apply to all tourist attractions included in the Gold Card package.
Dasara Attractions Beyond Ticketed Events
Visitors without premium tickets can take advantage of many of the free fest attractions.
- Palace Illumination
