The first rehearsal for the grand Dasara procession, Jamboo Savari, was held on the Mysuru palace premises on Sunday, with elephants and police personnel taking part.

The rehearsal included a demonstration of the flower-showering ritual on the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, seated in the golden howdah carried by the lead elephant. Police Commissioner Seema Latkar, along with forest and police officials, rehearsed the ritual from the elevated rostrum in front of the palace.
