Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyaar

Yaduveer’s paternal great-grandfather was Sardar Gopalaraj Urs, the eldest brother to Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X who had been adopted into the royal family by their maternal grandfather Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar III and had ascended the throne in 1868. A closer connection to the royal family exists through Yaduveer’s mother, Leela Tripurasundari Devi, who is the daughter of Kantharaj Basavaraj Urs, holder of the Kallahalli feudal estates (under Mysore) and his wife Maharajakumari Gayatri Devi, the eldest daughter of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar, making the maharaja his maternal great-grandfather.
