Navaratri is one of the widespread festivals in most of the states including Karnataka. In Karnataka, Navaratri is celebrated by lighting up Hindu temples, traditional sites, majestic processions and of course Sattvic food. It is locally called Dasara, and it is the state festival of Karnataka. Of the many celebrations, the Mysuru Dasara is a major one and is popular for its festivities. Another Navaratri tradition in Karnataka has been decorating a part of homes with art dolls called Gombe.
Tribute to the Navaratri and cultural cuisine, Cubbon Pavilion at ITC Gardenia has come up with Navaratri Special Thali which was started from 21st September and goes till 29th September. I was one among in the preview to experience the exotic thali which has healing benefits; the vegetarian thali is finely crafted with traditional sattvic dishes.
