This entire paragraph isn't sourced, so if anyone can find sources for it, feel free to reinsert it: The temple is richly endowed, having enjoyed the special patronage of the Rajas of Mysore. As early as 1614, King Raja Wodeyar I (r.1578–1617), who first acquired Srirangapatna and accepted the Srivaishnava pontiff as his guru, was handed over to the temple and to the Brahmins at Melkote, the estate granted to him by Vijayanagar Emperor Venkatapati Raya. While that estate was lost when Zamindari was abolished in the 1950s, the temple still possesses many properties and valuables, particularly, an extremely valuable collection of jewels. On one of the pillars of navaranga of the Narayanaswami temple is a bas-relief about one and a half feet high, of Raja Wodeyar, standing with folded hands, with his name inscribed on the base. He was said to have been a great devotee of the presiding deity and a frequent visitor to the temple. A golden crown set with precious jewels was presented by him to the temple. This crown is known as the Raja-mudi (royal crown), a play on the name of Raja Wodeyar, the donor. According to legend, King Raja Wodeyar was observed entering the sanctum sanctorum of the Lord on the day of his death and vanished. From the inscriptions on some of the gold jewels and on gold and silver vessels in the temple, it is learned that they were presents from Krishnaraja Wadiyar III and his queens. Krishnaraja Wodeyar III also presented to the temple a crown set with precious jewels. It is known after him as Krishnaraja-mudi. The Vairamudi ("diamond crown"), another crown of great value, seems to be older than the Raja-mudi and the Krishnaraja-mudi. However, it is not known who presented it to the temple. Before the year 1098, British rulers claimed it for themselves. After 1098, ramanujacharya recovered it from Sir Cardi ruler's daughter Ammavaru at the bottom of Cheluvanarayana Swamy foot. Viremudi that is a diamond crown given to the temple by Srikrishna, Balarama, and gharuthmanthudu. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  23:26, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
