Description

The earliest ancestors of the Maharaja of Patiala were members of the royal house of Jaisalmer. ^[1] The Maharaja traced his lineage to Jaisalmer’s founder, Jaisal. ^[2] In turn, the Maharawal of Jaisalmer claimed descent from Krishna, and through him, from Yadu. ^[3] Among the titles of the Maharaja of Patiala was Yadu Vansha Vatans (transl. a scion of the Yaduvansh ). ^[4]

This order was established by Bhupinder Singh in 1933. ^[4] It was also known as the Order of Krishna. ^[5] It was primarily awarded to Hindus. ^[4] The number of recipients was limited to five at any one time, including foreign sovereigns and their consorts, ruling princes, heirs apparent, and ministers of state. ^[4] The order comprised three classes: Sovereign Grand Master, Members, and Honorary Members. ^[4]
