Yadu Vansha Manya Mandal was an order conferred by the Maharaja of Patiala.
Description[edit | edit source]
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]
