Dodda Krishnaraja I - Personal Life

Personal Life

Dodda Krishnaraja was born on 18 March 1702. He was the first-born son of Kanthirava Narasaraja II, by his second wife Chelvaja Ammani Avaru. A month before his tenth birthday—upon his father's death—he acceded to the Mysore gaddi. Although he was married nine times, direct descent in the Wodeyar lineage stopped with him; a son was born to his first wife, but died aged six months. Dodda Krishnaraja died on 5 March 1732 at the age of 29, and was succeeded by an adopted son.
