Karnataka
In Karnataka, decorated dolls are placed at homes and people exchange coconuts, clothes and sweets among themselves. Scenes from various stories in the epics and puranas are enacted and many devotees visit the famous Kollur Mookambika temple located in Udupi. Navratri coincides with the ‘Mysore Dasara’ which is a legendary spectacle that honours goddess Chamundeswari of Chamundi Hill, or an avatar of goddess Durga, who killed the powerful demon Mahishasur. The palace of Mysore is decorated with lights and flowers during Dussehra where “Jamboo Savari”, a famous procession takes place. It involves elephant parades, wherein one of them carries goddess Chamundeswari.
