Vadodara Tourism Guide: Popular Tourist Attractions & Places to See

Kirti Mandir Vadodara

Vadodara (formerly Baroda) is the third largest city in Gujarat, located on the bank of Vishwamitri River, towards the south-east of Ahmedabad. Gigantic monuments, museums and gardens documenting the Indian history dominate the old quarter of Vadodara. The tinsel town is the brainchild of Sayajirao III, a farsighted ruler who introduced free primary education and laid foundation for premier institutions like Bank of Baroda, a railway system and Maharaja Sayajirao University.

Many tales and fables are associated with the name of the city. As per the history accounts, the city was christened as 'Chandravati' after its ruler Raja Chandan, later it was changed to 'Viravati 'meaning the abode of the brave, and then 'Vadpatra' due to the abundance of banyan trees here. From the term 'Vadpatra', the city got its final name - Baroda or Vadodara.

According to historians, Vadodara's history is over 2,000 years old. The first native people of Vadodara were some Hindu king, who ruled the town till 1297. People of Gupta Empire than start exploring the region and became the first ruler of Vadodara in the early year of the Christian era. After fierce battles, Vadodara was seized by Solanki dynasty. Years later, the city was vanquished by Mughals, which were later overthrown by Gaekwad ruler. Vadodara was the stage where events big and activities have unfolded.

Vadodara owes much of its splendours to the Sayajirao Gaekwad III, a formal ruler of the city. He was a great modernizer who laid the foundations of Vadodara’s modern reputation as Gujarat’s cultural capital. Today, Vadodara is known to the world as a heady mix of breathtaking art, interesting sights and vibrant street life. The Laxmi Vilas Palace, partially converted into a museum, is the finest example of the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture. Designed by Major Charles Mant in the year 1880, the palace is the major tourist attraction of Vadodara region. Few kilometres away from the Laxmi Vilas Palace is the Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum, which is famed for its unique collection of painting by the famous artist Raja Ravi Verma.

Even the outskirts of Vadodara are the subject matter of great interest for tourists. Few kilometres away from Vadodara is the ancient city of Champaner, which is also a UNESCO world heritage site. Situated at the foothills of Pavgadh, Champaner features a citadel, mosque, palaces and tombs, guarded by large gateways.

Cultural capital of Gujarat

  • Destinations

Speckled with gorgeous palaces, grand monuments and historical temples, the ancient city of Vadodara (earlier Baroda) is stretched along the banks of the Vishwamitri river. Vadodara is renowned all over the world for the awe-inspiring Statue of Unity, the tallest of its kind in the world, that stands against a picturesque backdrop of Vindhya and Satpura mountains. Tourists would be delighted by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, which is a well-preserved Islamic pre-Mughal city. Deep dive into the culture of the city and explore its artistic heritage - from exquisite lacquerwork to beautiful beadwork, there’s a lot on offer for shoppers. The city also boasts a busy and vibrant culinary scene and sampling delicacies like kansaar (a dessert), khandvi (a savoury prepared with mustard seeds, sesame seeds, coriander etc.) and makai chevada (a snack made with corn cobs) is a delightful experience.

Vadodara was originally called Vadapradaka, meaning a village amidst banyan trees. That human habitation reached here during the prehistoric times is evident from the archaeological findings. The city has been under the patronage of  Imperial Guptas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Solankis, Delhi Sultans, Mughals and Marathas, all of whom bestowed upon it architectural riches. The credit for the present-day city can be attributed to social-reformer, art-architecture-music patron Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III. Vadodara is popularly recognised as the cultural capital of Gujarat and is believed to be the third-largest city in the state.

Statue of Unity

Brief History: The statue has been built as an ode to the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the first home minister of independent India. He was responsible for uniting all 562 princely states of the country to build the Republic of India.

About Place: October 31st, 2018, marked the inauguration of the world’s tallest statue – the Statue of Unity, against the backdrop of the dramatic Satpura and Vindhyachal hills in Kevadia, Gujarat. The 182-metre (600 feet aprox.) statue is dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the architect of independent India. The colossal monument towers over River Narmada, a tribute to India ‘from the people of Gujarat’ to the leader who placed people’s welfare first. The Statue of Unity overlooks the vast surrounds and the river basin of the Narmada River and the sprawling Sardar Sarovar dam. It stands on the Sadhu Bet hillock, connected by a 300-metre bridge, which offers access from the mainland to the statue.

As a part of an outreach programme for the project, the state government had asked Indian farmers to donate their used farming equipment to collect iron needed for the statue of Sardar Patel. Eventually, about 5000 tonnes of iron is believed to be collected. Details of the construction and history of the leader can be seen in an in-house museum, inside the statue.

Laser Light and Sound Show: A Light and Sound show using laser technology projected on the Statue of Unity takes place every evening except Monday. The colourful laser lighting system is accompanied by an excellent narration of the history and life of Sardar Patel, his contribution to the Independence Movement and the unification of India as one nation.

Tour of Valley of Flowers: The Valley of Flowers (also known as Bharat Van), is spread across 24 acres of land and is a haven for colorful flowering plants along the bank of river Narmada.
