Vadodara is an amalgamation of rich historic background and dynamic modern infrastructure.

Modern Baroda owes its beauty, its educational institutions and its masterpieces of architecture to the insight and vision of the great ruler.

There is a saying that nothing grows under the banyan tree, but this is not true of Baroda. Having witnessed the rise and fall of the empires and kingdoms of the Hindus, Pathans, Moghuls and Marathas, it now occupies a unique position on the educational, cultural and industrial map of India. Yet, it has been fortunate enough to retain the beauty of its rich and varied past. And it is one of the few cities in India which is still influenced by the lost might of its ruling dynasties.
