Mysuru: Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the titular head of the erstwhile Mysore royal family and Mysuru-Kodagu MP, abstained from participating in the inauguration of Jumboo Savari yesterday due to the ‘Purudu’ (period of confinement) observed by the royal family following the birth of his second child.
While Yaduveer performed the Navarathri rituals at the Mysore Palace after tying the ‘Kankana’ — a protective thread — his wife, Trishika Kumari Wadiyar, gave birth to their second son on Oct. 11. The period of confinement traditionally begins immediately after childbirth; however, the ‘Kankana’ exempts Yaduveer from customary restrictions.
