Shivarajkumar sways to ‘tamate’ beats during Dasara procession in Mysuru

MYSURU: Actor Shivarajkumar stole the show at the Mysuru Dasara procession by grooving to drum beats as the Jamboo Savari went past a hotel where he was staying with his family.

Shivarajkumar was seated with his family at a private hotel near Highway Circle. He couldn’t resist standing up and dancing to the lively rhythms of the tamate as the cultural troupes marched by during the Jamboo Savari procession. What’s more, when the majestic elephant Dhananjay passed by, it saluted Shivaraj Kumar, adding a special touch to the moment.

Dancing with the crowd @NimmaShivanna never fails to entertain
