Commissioner Devaraju remarked that the Department of Archaeology, established in 1885, is committed to the preservation, conservation, and promotion of Mysuru’s heritage. The world-renowned Dasara celebrations present a unique opportunity to showcase the city’s grand cultural legacy.
The Jawa bike riders passed through significant landmarks, including Town Hall, Chamaraja Wadiyar 10th Circle, Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar (KR) Circle, Banumaiah’s College, CADA Office, Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar Circle, Narasimharaja Boulevard, Lalithamahal, Teresian College, Vasanth Mahal, and the Postal Training Center, before concluding at the Department of Archaeology premises at the Dasara Exhibition Grounds.
