Kirti Stambh, Memorial tower at Palace Road, Vadodara, India
The Kirti Stambh tower stands tall near the Polo Ground, constructed with pink Songadh stone and topped by a lion facing east.
Built in 1935, this monument commemorates the 60-year reign of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III and represents his transition toward spiritual pursuits.
The Sanskrit inscriptions at the base and the lion sculpture express the Hindu philosophy of renouncing worldly pleasures for spiritual enlightenment.
Located at Kirti Stambh Circle near Palace Road, the monument stands opposite Nehru Bhavan and maintains proximity to the Laxmi Vilas Palace.
The aged appearance of the lion sculpture, crafted by artist Krishnarao Chavan, intentionally reflects the weariness of Maharaja Sayajirao III.
