Jamboo Savari, also written as Jumboo Savari, is the grand procession that marks the climax of Mysuru Dasara. In 2026, it is scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, on Vijayadashami. The procession brings together decorated elephants, traditional music, cultural tableaux, ceremonial groups and the golden howdah carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari.

These timings are ceremonial schedule markers, not a guarantee that every section of the procession will reach a particular point at a fixed minute. Crowd conditions, protocol and operational changes can affect progress along the route.
What is the procession route?
The procession begins at Mysore Palace and travels through the city towards Bannimantap, covering approximately five kilometres. Sayyaji Rao Road and the stretch between K.R. Circle and Bannimantap are commonly cited as public viewing areas. The entire public route is free to watch, but popular spots fill early. The official Dasara website recommends arriving around 1 PM to secure a good position along the route.
Some numbered gallery seats at the palace forecourt and Bannimantap may be sold through the official booking channel. Check the Dasara Secretariat website for the current ticket categories, prices and availability; avoid unofficial resellers.
