Mysuru is in a jubilant mood. The Mysuru royals had a new addition to the family, with Maharaja Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar's wife Trishika Devi delivering a healthy baby boy late Wednesday night at a hospital in Bengaluru.
The newborn becomes the 28th in the Wadiyar lineage. The family is expected to issue a statement on Thursday.
Yaduveer became the 27th scion of the royal family after the sudden demise of Maharaja Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar, who passed away in 2012. As the royal couple had no children, Yaduveer Gopal Raj Urs, grandson of Mr Wadiyar's eldest sister Maharajakumari Gayathri Devi and son of Tripurasundara Devi and Swarup Anand Gopal Raj Urs, was adopted by Maharani Pramoda devi Wadiyar in 2015.
Yaduveer was officially anointed as 27th Maharaja of the Wadiyar dynasty on May 28, 2015. On June 27, 2016, Yaduveer married Trishika Kumari, daughter of Harshvardhan Singh and Rajkumari Maheshree Kumari of Dungarpur royal family of Rajasthan.
