Kolkata is known as the City of Joy and is situated along the Ganges river. It has been nicknamed the City of Palaces due to the many grand mansions built during British rule. Some of Kolkata's most notable landmarks include the Victoria Memorial hall, Dakshinesw Temple, Town Hall Museum, Eden Gardens cricket stadium, and Kumartooly which is known for its clay modeling. The Indian Museum in Kolkata houses a vast collection of artifacts and is the largest museum in Asia.

O
n the banks of the Vishwamitri River,
Vadodara brims with heritage, some as old
as its 2,000-year-old roots. The enduring
architecture from India’s medieval and modern periods
is testimony to the progressiveness of the city’s various
rulers, particularly while it was the capital of the
erstwhile princely state of Baroda.
The city passed through the hands of the Gupta,
Rashtrakuta, and Solanki dynasties, was held by the
Sultans of Delhi and Gujarat, and then the Mughals,
before finally being claimed by the Marathas of the
Gaekwad dynasty in the 1720s. The legacy of the
Gaekwad rulers was firmly established by the popular
and visionary ruler Maharaja Sayajirao III Gaekwad
(1875-1939), who transformed Baroda into an
educational, industrial, and commercial centre with
thriving art and architecture. Vadodara is crammed
with landmarks from this period, such as libraries,
hospitals, and museums, which are a reminder of the
dynasty’s institution-building prowess. It also has a
cluttered walled city, historically known as Kila-e-
Daulatabad, now referred to as Old Baroda. Here,
medieval bazaars, shrines, and century-old tenements
can be found in the labyrinthine lanes. Beyond these
walls, old-style bungalows and small houses still remain
despite the newer high-rises. The city’s etymological
roots—the Sanskrit word vatodar translates to “in the
heart of the banyan tree”—are evident everywhere, with
a profusion of oval leaves shading its streets.
Like the architecture, the locals are a harmonious,
cosmopolitan mix of people of different faiths,
from different states. They proudly call Vadodara
“Sanskarnagari,” or “the cultured city,” and it lives up
to this sobriquet.
EXPLORE
Hybrid Heritage
The moment I step out of the railway station,
Vadodara’s past is spread out before me in the form of
the sprawling Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda,
established as Baroda College in 1881 by Sayajirao III.

the earthen dam in Ajwa village, which provided clean
drinking water to people at a time of frequent cholera
outbreaks. It is a nice drive to Ajwa reservoir, which
is about 23 kilometres from the city, and still supplies
water to a large part of Vadodara. On weekends, the
gardens surrounding the reservoir have illuminated
fountains and make for a pleasant walk.
Palace Splendour
Lukshmi Vilas Palace, built in 1890 by Sayajirao III,
dominates the city skyline. At the time, it is said to
have cost £180,000 to build, and was one of the larg-
est and costliest private residences.
Imposing from a distance, the 150-room palace
is even grander up close. I’m awestruck by the nine-
storey tower, and the architectural smorgasbord of
onion-shaped Persian domes, chhatris, chhajjas, and
Venetian and Gothic arches. The architectural styles
from Europe, Persia, and Rajasthan somehow meld
together beautifully.
The complimentary audio-guide takes me
through an hour-long history of the Gaekwads,
Indo-Saracenic architecture, and the relevance
of each room. I grasp the significance of the
weapons in the armoury, the Coronation room
hung with Raja Ravi Varma masterpieces, the
ornate durbar hall, the hathi room where
the king alighted from his elephant, and
the marble courtyard with fountains and
sculptures.
Not all areas of the palace are open to
visitors as members of the royal family still
live here, but my disappointment quickly
dissipates as I relax by a fountain with a cup
The imposing 144-foot-high dome atop the Faculty of
Arts building is the second largest masonry dome in
India. A little further is Sayajirao garden, earlier called
Kamatibaug, where the Baroda Museum and Picture
Gallery is located in a heritage building built on the
lines of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
I take cabs and autos between various landmarks, as
they are scattered around the city, just a few kilometres
from each other. Most bear the Maratha stamp, with
the notable exception of the 16th-century Hajira
Maqbara, the tomb of Mughal general Qutubuddin
Muhammad Khan. Many historic buildings have
offices inside and visitors require permission to enter.
For example, Nyay Mandir, built in 1896, now houses
a district court. Pratap Vilas Palace is a railway staff
college, but college groups and tourists can visit on
Saturdays with prior permission. It has a fascinating
rail museum.
Sayajirao III was well travelled and fond of
European architecture. His vision was realised in
Baroda by architects such as R.F. Chisholm and
city planner Patrick Geddes. Besides the Victorian
Vadodara Museum, there’s the Kothi Building (1922),
inspired by Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, where the
district administration’s head office is located. A little
further is Kirti Mandir, also known as Temple of Fame,
a memorial for deceased members of the Gaekwad
family. It has a series of small rooms with marble
busts, and a main hall with murals by artist Nandlal
Bose. The influence of Indo-Saracenic architecture
is visible in the structure of the Sayajirao Gaekwad
Hospital, near Kala Ghoda Circle.
Sayajirao III’s interest in urban planning is evident
in places like Khanderao Market, a palatial building
from 1906 that buzzes with vegetable and fruit sellers

At the Maharaja Fatesingh Museum in the palace
compound, I see Raja Ravi Varma’s paintings of
Maharaja Sayajirao III in full regal attire, and his sister
Princess Tarabai. The portraits are so detailed and
nuanced that they could well be photographs. I take my
time examining the maharaja’s collection of European
art, including pieces by Italian sculptor Augusto Felici,
Wedgewood bone china, Doulton collectibles, Tiffany
wares, and Orrefors glasses. There are also fine Chinese
and Japanese porcelain vases, some with entire
battle sequences painted on them (0265-2426372;
open 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday closed; entry `80, audio
guide `30).
Walled City
In Old Baroda, early one Sunday morning, I’m sipping
hot tea with Chirag Munjani, who conducts urban and
rural heritage walks in Gujarat. A leisurely stroll is the
best way to explore this fortified city, which was built
in 1511 A.D. by Muzaffar Shah II, the son of Muhmud
Begada of the Gujarat Sultanate.
The city’s original walls have disappeared, but
its four imposing gates, one for each cardinal direc-
tion, radiating out from the central Mandvi Gate,
still exist. The Champaner, Gendi, Laheripura,
and Pani gates reflect a blend of Islamic and
Maratha architecture. The triangular projec-
tion jutting out of the main arch of Pani gate
is an iconic symbol of the city; Barodians
call it “Baroda nu naak,” implying “Baroda’s
honour.”
We begin our walk from the central Mandvi Gate,
the hub of activity in medieval times and still a
bustling market. Chirag points out the first branch
of the Bank of Baroda, built by Sayajirao III in 1908,
with a new extension beside it. The Central Library
next door, built around 1910, is a four-storey structure
with large windows and two-inch-thick Belgian glass
tile flooring. I browse the treasure trove of centuries-
old books and admire the pictures of Sayajirao III’s
foreign sojourns.
We turn into a narrow lane where the past seems
preserved in compact tenements supported by carved
Burmese pillars with iron oil lamp holders, doors,
window grills, and jharokhas. Each pol, or cluster of
houses with a common entrance through one lane,
was named after a specific caste, trade, or landmark.
In one of the pols is the Narsinhji temple, where
the old city still celebrates the 275-year-old tradition
of “Narsinhji no varghodo,” which celebrates the
marriage of Vishnu’s avatar to Tulsi on the 12th day
after Diwali. It is a haveli and not a typical temple.
At the Govardhan Nathji haveli, I spot a 50-year-old
Pichvai painting depicting the Raaslila.
Farsan and Fashion
Good upmarket restaurants and street food are
plentiful in Vadodara. The old city, Fatehgunj area, and
Vadodara’s other bazaars offer a huge variety of farsan
or snacks. Sev usal is the most popular of these staple
street foods, which also include kachori, chevdo,
bhakarwadi, jalebi, papdi, fafda, khaman,
and idda. Most of these snacks are easy on the
pocket.
During a shopping spree for a chania-
choli outfit and Navratri jewellery at Nava
Bazaar, locals direct me to the famous Pyarelal
a different kind of plumage, with garba revellers
flocking to dance into the night. Uttarayan is another
festival when the entire city is out celebrating.
Vadodara’s shopping is equally satisfying. For
handicrafts and handlooms, visit the Khadi Bhandar
(a short walk from Kothi Char Rasta), and head to
Baroda Prints for handprinted textiles. Alkapuri has
large showrooms for saris and designer chania-cholis
at shops like Thakur’s and Sequinze.
For more earthy wares, visit Sankheda village,
55 kilometres southeast of Vadodara. Here, the
Kharadi community makes wooden furniture
lacquered in shades of orange and brown. In the city,
JJSankhedaFurnitureinAlkapuri(sankhedafurniture.
com) carries some of these beautiful pieces, including
Gujarati jhoolas.
Ki Kachori in Mangal Bazaar, a small shop doing brisk
business in newsprint-wrapped kachoris stuffed with
puffed rice, onion, sev, peanuts, dal, tomato, potato,
chilly paste, and oozing with a sweet-and-spicy chut-
ney.
Another local favourite is Manmohan Farsan, a hole-
in-the-wall near the Kothi building. I am drawn by
the whiff of frying samosas and bhajiyas which floats
above the din of the crowd.
Barodians snack from morning to evening. Near the
railway station, Jagdish Farsan Mart starts selling its
famous bhakarwadi at 6 a.m. (`60-80 for 200 gm). At
Duliram Peda in Raopura, a fresh batch of sweet peda
is made every hour (`360 per kg).
Complete the culinary experience with the city’s
sugar-tinged Gujarati thalis, and the more savoury
and spicy Kathiawadi thalis. I like the decor and
Gujarati thali at the Mandap in Hotel Express Tower at
Alkapuri. A cloth mandap hangs over each table, and
the food is served in copper-plated utensils. The green
tomato curry remains my favourite (92278 81135;
thali `299). Also in Alkapuri, Sasumaa Gujarati Thali
has basic but clean interiors, and meals are served in
delightful extra-large steel thalis and an array of small
bowls (95746 52652; thali `240).
Both restaurants serve delicious seasonal Gujarati
vegetables, served with bajra na rotla, or millet rotis
smeared with pure ghee. Only the dal and kadhi are
sweetened, and for fussy eaters, there are Punjabi
versions of each dish.
My search for an authentic Kathiawadi thali leads
me to Kismat Kathiawadi Dhaba on NH8, replete
with charpais (thali `90), but for a more comfortable
dining experience visit Shree Kathiyawadi Khadki’s
new, air-conditioned restaurant in Sharnam Fortune
Mall on Race Course Road. It serves Gujarati thalis
at lunchtime (`270) and Kathiawadi à la carte in the
evening (meal for two `500).
Shiv Shakti Kathiawadi Hotel near the Vishwamitri
Bridge opposite a Mahindra tractor shop is equally
popular (0265-2342414; both Kathiawadi and
Gujarati lunch limited thali `90, evening only
Kathiawadi unlimited thali `170 with a churma ka
laddoo, the laddoo is made on alternate days and is in
high demand). Both restaurants serve the Kathiawadi
specialities of sev-tamatar nu shaak, ringan nu
bhartu, masala khichdi kadhi, rajwadi dhokla, tuar-
ringan, bajra rotla, makke-na-rotla, and of course,
chaas and papad.
Shopping and Unwinding
When I need to relax, I don’t have to look too far to
find one of the city’s numerous parks. Sayajibaug is
the city’s largest garden and houses a zoo, museums,
a planetarium, an amphitheatre, and a toy train. It
has good walking tracks, and during festivals, cultural
events are held here, with stalls serving local delicacies.
I spy peacocks, woodpeckers, kingfishers, rose-
ringed parakeets, and other bird species in Vadodara’s
vast open expanses. During Navratri, these fill with
Navratri is
a one of the
biggest events
in the cultural

Vadodara with
