Declaration of independence from Vijayanagara
Right in his father's days, Thimmaraja Wodeyar II had learnt the lineage of the royal families in Vijayanagara. Both his father and his brother, including himself, had begun to question the legitimacy of the Tuluva family. Before his father could take a stand against feudalism, he died. However, right after coming to power in 1553, he formally declared independence of the Kingdom of Mysore from the Vijayanagara Empire. In Vijayanagara, though, Rama Raya was in power, trying to hold together the falling pieces of the empire. But, disintegration and insubordination were faster than Rama Raya's consolidation of power. In this political mood, the Bahamani sultans and the Mughal emperors began further invasion of fiefdoms. Thimmaraja Wodeyar II took this opportunity and declared independence, although it wasn't until his brother's time that this came into full swing.
He died in 1572 and was succeeded by his brother Chamaraja Wodeyar IV.
The history of southern India covers a span of over four thousand years during which the region saw the rise and fall of a number of dynasties and empires.
The Wadiyar dynasty was an Indian dynasty that ruled the Kingdom of Mysore from 1399 to 1950, with a brief interruption in the late 1700s. They were a feudatory house under Vijayanagar Emperor, took advantage of weakening Vijaynagar Empire and became free. Raja Odeyar, secured Srirangapatna in 1610, which was the seat of the Vijaynagar Viceroy. The kingdom was incorporated into the Dominion of India after its independence from British rule.
The Kingdom of Mysore was a realm in southern India, traditionally believed to have been founded in 1399 in the vicinity of the modern city of Mysore. From 1799 until 1950, it was a princely state, until 1947 in a subsidiary alliance with British India. The British took Direct Control over the Princely State in 1831. It then became Mysore State with its ruler remaining as Rajapramukh until 1956, when he became the first Governor of the reformed state.
Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X was the twenty-third maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore, between 1868 and 1894.
The Mysore Palace, also known as Amba Vilas Palace, is a historical palace and a royal residence (house). It is located in Mysore, Karnataka. It used to be the official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore. The palace is in the centre of Mysore, and faces the Chamundi Hills eastward. Mysore is commonly described as the 'City of Palaces', and there are seven palaces including this one. However, the Mysore Palace refers specifically to the one within the new fort.
Maharaja of Mysore was the title of the principal ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore before and during British Indian and briefly of Mysore State in the Indian Dominion. After India's constitution as a republic in 1950, the last ruling Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar acceded the kingdom into the republic. However, like most kings in India at that time, the Maharaja and his successors were allowed an annual payment, certain privileges, and the use of the title "Maharaja of Mysore." Nevertheless, with the 26th Amendment to the Constitution of India, titles and privy purse all ended.
