Mysuru: Pramoda Devi has said that the Karnataka government paid royalty for the commercial use of Ambari during the Jamboo Savari procession as part of Mysuru Dasara 2026.
Her statement comes after Mysuru district in-charge Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah recently said that the state government had paid ₹80 lakh to the erstwhile royal family for the use of Ambari.
The issue is linked to the use of the traditional elephant in the ceremonial procession during Dasara in Mysuru. No further details were available immediately.
