Meet woman, a queen, who gave an heir to India's richest royal family after 400 years, she is married to…, her name is…
Home Viral Meet woman, a queen, who gave an heir to India's richest royal family after 400 years, she is married to…, her name is… Meet woman, a queen, who gave an heir to India's richest royal family after 400 years, she is married to…, her name is… In 2016, the Mysuru king married her and in 2017, the Princess and the royal family garnered a lot of limelight after she gave birth to their son, Aadyaveer Narasimharaja Wadiyar. India's days of kings and queens are long gone, yet many old royal families still protect their traditions. One of the best‑known is the Wadiyar family of Mysuru. The current head, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, is their 27th maharaja and is said to look after a fortune of about Rs. 80,000 crore. In 2016 Yaduveer married Princess Trishika Kumari of the Dungarpur royal house in Rajasthan. Two years later she gave birth to a baby boy, Aadyaveer Narasimharaja Wadiyar, the first child born into the Wadiyar line in roughly four centuries. Before that the family had always adopted heirs because no sons were ever born. In 2024, Yadhuveer and Trishika welcomed their second son, Yugadhyaksh Krishnaraja Wadiyar. Who is Trishika Kumari? Trishika comes from the Dungarpur royal family in Rajasthan, which also has a long history of royalty. Her parents are Harshavardhan Singh and Maheshree Kumari. Trishika spent much of her early life in Bengaluru, where she studied at Baldwin Girls' School and later graduated from Jyoti Nivas College. Despite her royal background, she is known for being graceful, kind, and down-to-earth. People know her for her graceful yet simple style: silk sarees or soft pastel drapes, a tiny bindi, pearls, and neatly parted hair. She looks regal without trying too hard. Today, Trishika Kumari plays a supportive role in royal traditions and social work while also raising her son in the rich cultural heritage of Mysuru. The legend of the curse Local blames the family's long run of childlessness on a 17th‑century curse. It says Alamelamma, wife of a local ruler, leapt into the Cauvery River to avoid capture after Raja Wadiyar tried to seize her territory. Just before she drowned, she threw her jewels into the water and cursed three things: Talakadu would turn into a desert of shifting sand. Malingi would become a dangerous whirlpool. The rulers of Mysuru would be born without heirs in every other generation. After the curse, there were no direct heirs to the Wadiyar dynasty. The successive kings adopted their nephews or cousins to take over the throne. The royals tried their best to please Alamelamma and even offered puja to her, but everything went in vain. Whether or not you believe the tale, the Wadiyar family truly did go almost 400 years without a natural‑born successor until Trishika and Yaduveer's son arrived and broke the pattern.
