Sir,

We would like to draw the attention of Mysuru Dasara Cultural Sub-Committee members through this column.

During Dasara many cultural programmes are arranged at various locations — around 15 to 20 venues at a time.

We have attended programmes at Kalamandira, Jaganmohan Palace, Ganabharathi, Kirurangamandira etc., and have noticed that not even 10 percent of the total seats are filled with audience, which discourages the performers.

People were attracted specially towards the events at Mysore Palace, Dasara Exhibition Grounds, Yuva Dasara etc.

Our suggestions to the authorities concerned is that some musical programmes at the above auditoriums can be arranged after Dasara also so that sufficient audiences can attend for the programme which will encourage the performers also. Hope, the Dasara Cultural Sub-Committee will look into this during next Dasara celebrations.
