The Legend of Mysore Dasara
The legend behind Mysore Dasara ties directly to the fierce battle between Goddess Chamundeshwari and the demon Mahishasura. As per local belief, Mysuru was once ruled by the demon Mahisha. The Goddess, in her ferocious aspect, battled and slew him on the Chamundi Hills—liberating the land. To commemorate this divine victory, the Wodeyar kings of Mysore initiated the tradition of Dasara processions, carrying her idol on a richly decorated elephant from the palace to the temple. This victory of dharma over adharma is the central theme depicted in this Golu doll set. The Golu bommai captures not just the story, but the spirit of celebration, courage, and royal devotion that Mysore Dasara symbolizes.
