Mysuru Grand Dasara with Devi Ma Fervor

Mysuru great grand Dasara

So much beautiful and gorgeous

So much magnificent and majestic

So much smile all around and

Delightfulness is seen everywhere

The ten-day Mysore Dasara

Soaks public in its grandeur 

Long broad roads are decorated

Elephants gather for procession

Grand historic edifice Amba Vilas 

The Place of pride illuminates at night

The cultural capital of Karnataka

The heritage city of palaces

The city of silk and sandalwood

That is also well-known worldwide

For its most aromatic spices

Takes you into a fairytale world 

The beauty that is inherent here

Pleases the eyes and charms the souls

Mysuru is a prominent in our history

Every stone here tells a tale of its own

Heartbeats echoing here through centuries

The beauty and charm of the artistry

Muses and amuses global travelers
Sunset along the horizon dances here
A symphony of Karnataka music rises
Temples and history go together here 
Chamundi Hill allures from dawn to dusk
A nature’s masterpiece paints her valor

She slayed Mahishasura on that great night

Dharma defeated Adharma on that night

That night is known as majestic Mangal night

People celebrate this as Shubha Navaratri

With much devotion and fervor we offer

Maha Navami Ayudha Puja and

Seek Mahataayi Chamundi blessings

We all children together celebrate and

Parise in chorus the triumph of Navaratri

Destroy the enemies of outside and within

Using weapons and positive forces

Remove shortages through true efforts

Holding hands and joining shoulders

Toil day and night singing in zeal

The names of Devi Ma Chamundi
