'''Krishnaraja Wadiyar II''' (Immadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar; {{lang-kn|ಇಮ್ಮಡಿ ಕೃಷ್ಣರಾಜ ಒಡೆಯರ್}}, 1728 – 25 April 1766{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}), was the eighteenth [[Maharaja of Mysore|maharaja]] of the [[Kingdom of Mysore]] from 1734 to 1766. He ruled as monarch during his entire rule, first under the ''dalvoys'', and then, for the last five years, under [[Hyder Ali]].<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
On 8 October 1731, Krishnaraja Wadiyar II was adopted, like his predecessor, by Maharani Devajammani and Maharaja [[Dodda Krishnaraja Wodeyar I|Krishnaraja Wodeyar I]], under the title ''Chikka Krishnaraja Wodeyar''.<br />
<br />
He was crowned at Mysore, on 15 June 1735. He reigned under the control of ''dalvoy'' Devarajaiya Urs, who was in charge of Mysore rule from 1724 to 1746. After the decline of the ''dalvoy''<nowiki/>'s power and eventual death, Hyder Ali, another ''dalvoy'', came to be considered the ''de facto'' supreme ruler of Mysore from 1761 until his death in 1782.<br />
<br />
He was a titular King. He could never enjoy power as there was a tripartite struggle between himself, the Dalvoi and sarvadikari Nanja Raja. In fact the kingdom became weak because of the struggle. Haider Ali gradually filled the place of Nanja Raja. The king executed many plots to regain his power but was not successful. His opponents were more resourceful, sly and united.<br />
Krishna Raja Wadiyar II died in his capital, [[Srirangapatna|Seringapatam]], on 25 April 1766.<br />
