Vadodara, Metropolitan city in Gujarat, India

The Vishwamitri River flows through this industrial center, which features numerous banyan trees and extends across the eastern part of Gujarat state.

The region transformed from ancient Chandravati to modern Vadodara under the Gaekwad dynasty, with Maharaja Sayajirao III implementing major urban developments in the 1880s.

The Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery contains archeological findings, European oil paintings, Mughal miniatures, and traditional textiles from different periods.

The city maintains direct railway connections to Mumbai and Delhi, while the international airport serves domestic flights to major Indian destinations.

The Laxmi Vilas Palace, constructed in 1890, remains the residence of the Gaekwad royal family and encompasses four times the size of Buckingham Palace.
