Wedding bells for Yaduveer in June?
Scion of Mysuru royal family to marry Trishika Kumari of Rajkot.
Mysuru: The scion of the Mysuru royal family, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, who turned 24 recently, is likely to marry his fiancée, Trishika Kumari from the royal family of Rajkot, on June 27, according to palace sources.
The official announcement is expected shortly, said reliable sources. The royal wedding could take place at the Kalyana Mantapa of the Mysuru Palace where all Mysuru royal family weddings have traditionally taken place, say sources. The late Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar too had married Pramoda Devi Wadiyar at the venue in 1976.
Srikantadatta Wadiyar who was the scion of the Mysuru royal family, passed away in December, 2013 following which his nephew Yaduveer was coronated as the new scion last year.
Mr Yaduveer was officially anointed the 27th Maharaja of the 600 -year- old Wadiyar dynasty after he was legally adopted by Maharani Pramoda Devi as she and her husband Srikantadatta Wadiyar did not have children of their own. “Yaduveer will have a Hindu traditional wedding," sources revealed.
The new Mysuru Maharaja studied at the Vidya Niketan School in Bengaluru and the Canadian International School in the city before graduating from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the USA in May 2015. According to reports Yaduveer plans to pursue his education even after his marriage.
