The best time to visit Mysore is during Dasara season ( September to October ) 10 days. The entire city wears a bright new look for 10 days, bathed in light, joy and colour.
The Dasara time is one of the great splendor and magnificence. On the 10th day Vijaya Dashami, the former Maharaja leads a procession through the streets of the city, seated in a golden howda on an elephant, headed by camels and accompanied by caparisoned elephants, horses, palanquins, silver coaches and standard-bearers with silken banners.
After sunset, a review is held at the Bannimantap Maidan amidst a blaze of lights. For Mysoreans Dasara is both a royal as well as a religious festival.
