[[File:Rani_Vijaya_Devi.jpg|thumb|]]'''Rani Saheb Vijaya Devi''' of Kotda-Sangani (b. 28 August 1922, Mysore; d. 8 December 2005, [[Bangalore]], [[India]]) was the eldest daughter of [[Yuvaraja]] [[Kanteerava Narasimha Raja Wadiyar]] and sister of [[Maharaja]] [[Jaya Chamaraja Wadiyar]]. Her early formative years were spent in the palace where the family's rich cultural atmosphere left a deep impression on her.

The young [[princess]] grew up steeped in [[Carnatic music]] and dance, and became proficient in playing the [[Veena]]. At the age of six, she also commenced formal [[piano]] lessons at the Palace, and progressed through to the Fellowship examination of the [[Trinity College of Music]], [[London]] under the tutelage of Dr. Alfred Mistowski, Professor of Trinity College.

After her marriage to the Thakore Saheb of Kotda-Sangani in 1941, Rani Vijaya Devi continued studying the piano in [[India]], and later at the [[Juilliard School of Music]], [[New York City|New York]], with Professor Edward Steuermann, during her husband's diplomatic posting there. An accomplished concert pianist, she has recorded for radio and television, and appeared in concerts in [[Hong Kong]] and [[India]].

She was the founder and President of the International Music & Arts Society. It was established to augment [[Bangalore]]’s existing cultural scene by providing an international forum for Indian and foreign musicians and artistes. Designed by the English artist-dramatist-teacher, David Horsburgh, the Society's logo embodies the spirit of the arts of both East and West.

Over the last twenty-five years, the Society has worked in collaboration with other organizations such as the [[ICCR]] and USIS, and European embassies and cultural centers. This effort has enabled a wide audience to enjoy the works of some of the finest international exponents of the performing and visual arts of our time.

The past Patrons of the Society have included the Governors of [[Karnataka]] and Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale, and currently, the Governor of Maharashtra Sri. S. M. Krishna, and Sri. [[Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar]].

Rani Vijaya Devi and the Thakore Saheb of Kotda-Sangani had four daughters: Gita Devi Nath, Usha Devi Malavi, Urmila Devi and Shakuntala Devi, and five grand-children: Akshay Malavi, Priyam Malavi, Udaya Nath, Hanumant Nath and Anishaa Taraporvala.

She died on 8 December 2005 at a private hospital in Bangalore.
