For long & even today, Dasara is synonymous with #Mysore. It is also the nADa-habba - the State Festival of Karnataka.
Dasara as the State Festival are a contribution of the #Wodeyar dynasty.

Vijayadashami as a Festival has a very long history. Many classical texts trace it back to Mahabharata, although the Vyasa Bharata does not say anything. It, of course, goes back to Ramayana.

The Vijayanagar Kings made Vijayadashami - Dasara a very big event, which is recorded by many travellers.
But its the Wodeyars alone who carried this festival to the Modern times. They transformed a cultural/religious event into a State/Civilizational Festival.
