Banu Mushtaq inaugurates Mysuru Dasara days after controversy over invite
Banu Mushtaq inaugurated Mysuru Dasara 2025 by making floral offerings to the idol of goddess Chamundeshwari and by lighting the traditional lamp on Monday. This comes after a row erupted over the invitation to her, which led to a plea in Supreme Court challenging the state government's decision. The petitioner argued that a non-Hindu shouldn't perform puja at Chamundi temple.
