After India's constitution into a republic in 1950, the last ruling Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar ceded the kingdom into the republic. However, like most kings in India at that time, the maharaja and his successors were allowed an annual payment (the privy purse), certain privileges, and the use of the title "Maharaja of Mysore."
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 Princess Gayatri Devi, the eldest daughter of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar, making the maharaja his maternal great-grandfather.

However, the Mysore forces, led by Devaraja Wodeyar I, repulsed the attack and pursued the attackers into the malnad region to the west, where they captured more territory.
