Jyotiraditya Scindia Follows 200-Year-Old Dussehra Tradition in Gwalior

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia appeared in a royal style in Gwalior on the occasion of Dussehra, accompanied by his son, Mahaaryaman Scindia. Wearing traditional royal attire, a turban and carrying a sword, Scindia travelled in a Rolls Royce car as he followed a nearly 200-year-old family tradition.

During the traditional visit, Scindia reached the court of the family deity at Gorkhi. He also visited the Mandhre Ki Mata temple, dedicated to the family goddess, and went to the Scindia Chhatri, where he performed worship for his ancestors.

The Scindia family carried out this traditional worship on the occasion of Dussehra. The ceremony reflected the historical heritage of the Gwalior royal family, its religious faith and its royal traditions.

Mahaaryaman Scindia’s presence alongside his father made the family ritual especially significant. His participation also highlighted the continuation of the tradition within the family.

Scindia’s traditional journey, marked by his royal attire and the vintage Rolls Royce, once again brought attention to Gwalior’s historical identity and the heritage of the Scindia royal family during the Dussehra celebrations.
