    Mahisha Dasara, observed by marginalized castes in Mysore, is an exceptional cultural and social festival that has gained increasing prominence in recent years. It stands apart from the traditional Mysore Dasara and is intentionally organized to commemorate the legacy of Mahishasura, who was a prominent ruler of Mysore before the arrival of Brahminical and Vedic cultural influences. This festival is embraced by diverse backward and Dalit communities as a means to reclaim their historical and cultural identities. It serves as a symbol of both resistance and pride. Such celebrations are rooted in the original beliefs of the indigenous people. A similar transformation has been witnessed in Tulu folklore and history, which was often distorted to fit the discriminatory Vedic caste system. Local heroes and deities were marginalized, while the deities of the Vedic tradition were glorified by a specific sect. The native deities, such as Koragajja, Panjurli, Maisandhaya, and more, were regarded as inferior by these Vedic casteists. Tuluvas should take the opportunity to celebrate figures like Koti Chennaya, Koragajja, and other deities as symbols of their journey toward social transformation based on principles of equality, simplicity, intelligence, and love.

    ADVERTISEMENT REMOVE AD Home News India Mahisha Dasara: A Controversy Over Clearing a ‘Good Demon’s’ Name Mahisha Dasara: A Controversy Over Clearing a ‘Good Demon’s’ Name A group of rationalists claim Mahisha was a Buddhist ruler and not a demon. ARUN DEV Published: 17 Oct 2018, 2:41 PM IST INDIA 4 min read Mahisha Dasara: A Controversy Over Clearing a ‘Good Demon’s’ Name i Like King Mahesha was a demon king who was troubling the citizens and Gods. As the battle between the Gods and demons in Indian mythology, raged on, King Mahesha had become a tough opponent for the Gods.. Mahishasura, the buffalo demon, had two superpowers – he could shape-shift at will and no ‘man’ could ever kill him. For the defeated and disheartened Gods, relief came in the form of Mahishasura Mardini (the killer of Mahisha), a reincarnation of goddess Durga, who killed him on the day of Dasara. This is the mythological story behind Karnataka’s biggest festival – Mysuru Dasara. In the month of October, Mahishasura Mardini or Chamundeshwari is worshipped as part of the Dasara celebrations, led by the Mysuru royal family. But some oppressed and low caste people celebrate the Dasara as the festival of Mahesha, the demon king. The name came as Mysoru from Mahesha ooru. BJP is opposing the celebration of Mahesha, the demon King. There is no unanimity between upper and lower caste people on this festival.
