Private durbar at Mysore palace

This is a rare video clip featuring the present scion of mysore royal family, Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar ascending the golden throne of mysore in traditional attire amidst the ancient practice of announcing the arrival of the king to the court. Following this, Mr. Wadiyar received tributes from the courtiers and other members of the royal family, at the private amba vilas(durbar hall) of mysore palace, marking the symbolic and ceremonial beginning of the navratri festivities. Also Mr. Wadiyar offered special prayers to invoke the blessings of the almighty in the presence of other members of the royal family and family friends.
A tradition inherited from the Vijayanagar kings, it was adopted by Raja Wadiyar, who ascended the throne in 1610. He decreed that the Vijayanagar rulers
practice should continue to be held in all its pomp and glory. The tradition continues to this day, lending a royal touch to make the Mysore Dasara more alluring. Every year tradition and history gets unfolded when the scion of the Mysore royal family conducts the private durbar for nine days at the durbar hall of the Palace. The ritual is held daily, with the scion ready to ascend the precious jewel stone-studded golden throne.The golden throne weighs 450 kilo and is believed to be 4,000 years old. It has passed on from Parikshith Maharaja to the Wadiyars changing different hands, including Vijayanagar kingdom.
