Sources in the royal family revealed that Yaduveer was engaged to Trishika much before his adoption as the scion of the royal family. In accordance to the same, after the death of Srikanta Datta Narasimha Raja Wodeyar, Yaduveer was adopted by the royal family as the successor in a special ceremony. There was a small pooja [religious ritual] for the bride before the wedding ceremony began.
