Madikeri Dasara Dasha Mantapa Committee Issues New Guidelines

Madikeri, Oct. 13: The Dasha Mantapa Committee has released guidelines and regulations for the grand Dasha Mantapa procession—a key attraction of the historic Madikeri Dasara festival—held on the night of Vijayadashami.

To ensure the procession is conducted in a highly disciplined, punctual, and peaceful manner, 25 mandatory conditions and special instructions have been strictly enforced for all Mantapa committees to follow.

A maximum duration of 22 minutes is allotted for the Mantapa performance, and only two tractors (with 6+6 wheel configuration) are permitted for use. There is a complete ban on laser lights, plastic paper blasts, kerosene, petrol, and hazardous firecrackers. Exceeding the time limit results in a deduction of 5 marks; significant delays lead to the performance being moved to the end, with zero marks awarded for both the performance and time adherence.

Restrictions have been placed on Western music, with priority given to devotional music; cranes cannot be used for loudspeakers, and the setup is limited to a maximum of 12 speaker boxes. All Mantapa committees are mandatorily required to use only two tractors (with 6+6 wheel configuration). Artworks cannot be displayed on any vehicles other than tractors.
