One of Gujarat's most well-known cities, Vadodara, sometimes referred to as Baroda, has a history that spans more than 2,000 years. The city is traversed by the Vishwamitri River, which bears the name of the illustrious rishi (saint) Vishwamitra. The city has been dominated by Hindus, Pathans, Mughals, and Marathas. Today, it is populated by a varied group of people who speak a variety of languages, including Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, and English. Even though Vadodara offers contemporary shopping centres, fine dining establishments, and antique markets, the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site of Champaner and Pavagadh nearby is the main draw. See what else Vadodara has to offer if that's not on your list of things to do.
1.Laxmi Vilas Palace- The majestic Laxmi Vilas Palace is a picture of riches and refinement. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III constructed it in 1890 to serve as Vadodara's royal home. The palace was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic architectural style (represents a synthesis of Muslim designs and Indian materials developed by British architects in India). The décor, which includes chandeliers, artwork, water fountains, and Belgian stained glass windows, is reminiscent of a large European country house. The venue's Durbar Hall routinely hosts musical performances and cultural gatherings, and the museum has a sizable collection of works by members of the royal family.
2. Sayaji Baug- The greatest garden in Western India, sometimes referred to as Kamati Baug, was built in 1879 by Maharaja Sayajirao III. Two museums, a zoo, a planetarium, a flower clock, a working toy railroad, and other attractions may be found in the 45-hectare park. The planetarium, which is next to the main gate, presents daily public shows in Gujarati, Hindi, and English as well as customised performances for educational institutions. The zoo, which was first built in 1879 as a component of the original park, now houses 1103 animals from 167 different species, with Asiatic lions being the most well-known. Additionally, it contains a lovely aviary. There are three entrance gates; the first is 500 metres from the new bus stop and Vadodara Railway Station.
3. Aurobindo Ashram: Sri Aurobindo established the Aurobindo Ashram as a place of spiritual seclusion. The Aurobindo Ashram is a community centre where you can meditate, unwind, and get rid of the pressures of contemporary society through yoga, meditation, and other practices. It was founded by Aurobindo Ghose, a well-known Indian freedom fighter, philosopher, and yoga instructor. In the Indian state of Pondicherry, the major ashram is located in Pondicherry. At the ashram in Vadodara, there are a library, a study area, and a shop. Aurobindo Ghose resided in the Aurobindo Ashram throughout his stay in Baroda (1894–1906). The ashram is a nice place to visit if you're in Vadodara and is available to the public for meditation.
4. Vadodara Museum and Picture Gallery: The Gaekwads constructed the Vadodara Museum and Picture Gallery in Sayaji Bagh in 1894. The museum and the photo gallery are housed in two separate, two-story Indo-Saracenic buildings. Along with 109 miniature paintings from the Mughal era and a large collection of archaeological, geological, and natural history artefacts from Maharaja Sayajirao III's personal collection, you can see the Persian translation of the Mahabharata that was specially commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The art gallery and museum are well-kept and often recognised as the best in the area.
5. Lake Sursagar - Also referred to as Chandan Talao, Sursagar Lake is a serene area in the centre of Vadodara. There is always water in this lake, which was restored in the 18th century with stone walls and masonry. People can stop and unwind while enjoying the lake and the 120-foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva in a standing position that the Vadodara Municipal Corporation has erected in its centre thanks to the construction of a concrete wall around the lake. The lake has become a local favourite and is used for boating as well. Another recommendation is to visit on a weekend when light displays are displayed on the water.
