Playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan set the Yuva Dasara stage ablaze with her energetic performance as thousands swayed to her hits on Saturday, September 27th, 2025The Dhoom Machale singer was the top draw of this year’s show held near Uttanahalli Jwalamukhi Temple on the outskirts of the city where the youth lip-synched and danced non-stop to her performance.Though there was a slight drizzle, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience who danced wildly in a display of energy and zest.Apart from her well-known Hindi numbers from Bollywood, Sunidhi also regaled the audience with Kannada hits from various films including Kunidu Kunidu Baare from Mungaru Male.The show also brought the curtains down on Yuva Dasara which featured performances by Pritam, Arjun Janya, Jubin Nautiyal, Asees Kaur to name a few.Yuva Dasara which was introduced to Dasara more than 20 years ago, was an attempt to rope in the youth crowd to celebrate the spirit of Dasara and has been a smash hit and a permanent fixture since the inception.Though the programmes used to be held at Open Air Auditorium, Mansagangotri in the early years, it was shifted to Maharaja’s College Grounds due to its growing popularity and the need for a larger venue to accommodate the crowd.But its popularity has skyrocketed over the years and the authorities shifted the venue last year to the Outer Ring Road. This was also an attempt to reduce traffic congestion in the heart of the city and the change seems to have worked well as there is no decline in the audience.Over the years, the best of Bollywood, Kannada film industry, and trending singers and bands have been invited to Yuva Dasara, who have regaled the crowd in Mysuru.Published - September 28, 2025 07:57 pm IST
