As a proud Kannadiga and Hindu, I am compelled to speak out when my cultural and spiritual values are compromised. Mysuru Dasara, an emblem of Karnataka’s heritage, is a revered festival dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneshwari. Opposition to Banu Mushtaq's Selection to Inaugurate Dasara - 'Chamundi Betta Chalo' Called for Sept. 9
Any attempt to exploit this sacred celebration for political purposes disrespects the emotions of Kannadigas and the sanctity of our traditions. The Karnataka government’s choice to invite Baanu Mushtaq to inaugurate Mysuru Dasara 2025 undermines the essence of this cherished festival.
I view this decision as a politically motivated move that diminishes the religious and cultural importance of Dasara, prompting me to issue a legal notice in response. Dasara is far more than a festival it embodies the identity of Kannadigas, the worship of divine feminine power, and a centuries-old tradition.
Held under the divine blessings of Goddess Bhuvaneshwari, it symbolizes the devotion and unity of our people. Using such a sacred event for political gain is an insult to our traditions.

The government’s decision has wounded the sentiments of Kannadigas and devalued Dasara’s spiritual significance. Consequently, I have resolved to challenge this misguided decision through legal means.
It is our collective duty to safeguard our cultural heritage. Festivals like Dasara must remain sacred symbols of faith and culture, free from political manipulation. As Kannadigas, we must unite to oppose such affronts. I am dedicated to ensuring that this holy celebration of the Goddess remains untainted by political motives.Mysuru Dasara 2025: Release of Tickets and Gold Cards..!
