The Mysore royal family has been haunted by a legendary curse for over 400 years. The curse originated with Queen Alamelamma, the wife of the last king of the Vijayanagar Empire. As the Wadiyars took control in 1612, they tried to seize her jewelry. To avoid capture, Alamelamma leapt into the River Cauvery, cursing the Wadiyars: "May Talakadu become barren, Malangi turn into a whirlpool, and may the Mysore kings never beget heirs

This curse has seemingly come true. Talakadu is now a desert, Malangi is plagued by whirlpools, and the Wadiyar dynasty has often struggled with succession, frequently adopting heirs from extended family due to the lack of direct descendants
 
The Mysore royal family is believed to be under a 400-year-old curse said to have been placed by Alamelamma, the wife of a temple priest in the 17th century.
 
The curse on the Mysore royal family was believed to be placed by Bangalore's priest, who cursed them after the family mistreated his daughter. It was said that the family would face tragedies and untimely deaths. Many royal members of the family faced untimely deaths and misfortunes, leading to the curse being attributed to the priest's wrath.
