Mysuru Dasara runs from 11 to 21 October; on Vijayadashami, 21 October, the floral tribute that starts the Jamboo Savari is at 4:10–4:35 PM. That is the time the Chief Minister announced for the event, not a panchang muhurat. In Karnataka, Vijayadashami 2026 is on Wednesday 21 October: the Karnataka government’s 2026 holiday list has Mahanavami and Ayudha Puja on 20 October and Vijayadashami on 21 October. That day Dashami holds from sunrise until 2:13 PM. In Mysuru the Vijay muhurat is 2:06–2:54 PM on 20 October, when Dashami holds in the Aparahna; by this rule Drik Panchang gives Dussehra on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Times are for Mysuru’s sunrise and sunset, in Indian Standard Time.
