Mysuru Maharaja

Yaduveer Krishnadatta Wadiyar, the 'Maharaja of Mysore', will make his debut in electoral politics in the Lok Sabha elections this year. The BJP has fielded him from Mysuru-Kodagu parliamentary constituency in Karnataka and dropped two-time MP Pratap

Yaduveer Krishnadatta Wadiyar, the 'Maharaja of Mysore', will make his debut in electoral politics in the Lok Sabha elections this year, with the BJP fielding him as its candidate from the Mysore Lok Sabha segment, replacing sitting MP Pratap Simha.

Ahead of travelling to Ireland, pacer Prasidh Krishna bowled at full tilt for Mysuru Warriors against Hubli Tigers in the KSCA Maharaja Trophy T20 tournament in Bengaluru on Sunday.

In a post shared on October 11, Mysuru's titular 'Maharaja' Yaduveer Wadiyar called out citizens who callously left waste all over the iconic Mysore Palace premises and commented: "Hope this blatant disregard to our most sacred building is not an annual feature."

Elaborate rituals for the June 27 grand wedding of the Mysuru's titular Maharaja Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraj began on Friday at the Ambi Vilas Palace in Mysuru amid chanting of Vedic hymns and invocation of Hindu goddess Chamundeshwari, a palace official said.

The Venkatappa Art Gallery in Bengaluru, named after a leading 19th century court artist during the reign of the Mysuru maharajas, has found itself the focus of attention today.

If India still had kings, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar would be 'Maharaja of Mysore.' The 23-year-old was handed that designation after a series of ceremonies this morning, but now it only makes him the titular head of Mysore's royal family.

It's a long way from a university on the East Coast of the United States where Yaduveer Wadiyar was studying, to the Amba Vilas Palace in Mysuru.

Ending months of speculation, 23-year-old US educated Yaduveer Gopal Raj Urs was finally adopted as the titular head of the Mysore royal family, after the death of Srikantadatta Narisimharaja Wodeyar in 2013. Following the ceremony the new heir took a ride on a silver chariot in the evening to greet well-wishers and members of the public.
