About Vadodara
The erstwhile Baroda or Vadodara, is situated on the banks of River Vishwamitri, south-east of Ahmedabad in Gujarat. One of the leading industrial cities in Gujarat, Vadodara is famous for its palaces, parks, museums and temples. In spite of being one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Gujarat, Vadodara has gained itself the moniker of ‘Sanskari Nagari’ for its rich culture and tradition. Once the home of Shri Aurobindo Ghosh, an eminent philosopher, his residence, popularly known as Aurobindo Society is the only national memorial. Surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, one can learn yoga and meditation here. The Baroda Museum and Gallery, Maharaja Fatehsinh Museum, Darbar Hall, Laxmi Vilas Palace, Makarpura Palace Kirti Mandir and the Lehripuria Gate are some interesting places in Vadodara. The Maharaja Sayajirao University in Vadodara is one of the bigger universities in Western India. Vadodara also has a range of multiplex and theatres and some great places to dine.
