During the 2026 Dasara festival, entry to Mysuru Palace will have specific time-bound or all-day restrictions: October 5 (10 AM–1 PM), October 11 (10 AM–2 PM), October 20 (closed all day for Mahanavami and Ayudha Puja), October 21 (closed all day for general tourists due to Vijayadashami and Jamboo Savari), and November 19 (10 AM–12 PM) for disassembling the jeweled throne.
General tourists will not have access to Mysuru Palace all day on October 21, 2026. However, individuals holding valid Dasara passes or Jamboo Savari tickets will be permitted entry after completing security checks.
Entry is restricted on October 5 from 10 AM to 1 PM because the jeweled throne used during Dasara is assembled in the Durbar Hall. Similarly, entry is restricted on November 19 from 10 AM to 12 PM as the jeweled throne is disassembled and moved back to the strongroom.
