Mysuru: As the spectacular Dasara festivities drew to an end in this city of palaces, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's reclusive wife, Parvathi, had her way as her offering - a blue colour saree - was draped over the idol of Chamundeswari placed in the golden Howdah during Jamboo Savari procession on Saturday.
Mrs. Siddarmaiah, who seldom appears at public events along with her husband, was unwavering about her offering, perhaps as fulfillment of a vow. The authorities concerned conceded and adorned the idol.
On Saturday, Mr Siddaramaiah became the first Chief Minister in four decades to offer pooja for five consecutive years to the idol of Chamundeswari ahead of the famed Jamboo Savari on Vijayadashami.
