 | | The Kingdom of Mysore was a kingdom of southern India, which was founded about AD 1400 by the Wodeyar dynasty, who ruled the state until the independence of India in 1947, when the kingdom was merged with the Union of India. |
 | | It was in the reign of Raja Wodeyar and his successor, the celebrated Kantheerava, in the mid-1600s, that the kingdom really asserted its independence, and expanded to include most of the southern part of modern-day Karnataka, as also parts of neighbouring states. |
 | | HH Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wodeyar signed the Instrument of Accession on 9 August, 1947, and the state acceded to the Dominion of India. |
