Lukshmi Vilas Palace, the largest private residence in India, is grand, awe-inspiring, and beautiful. The architecture is a fantastic exposition of Indo-Saracenic architecture; the grounds and carved-out sections like the golf course immaculate; and the collection of art and artefacts exquisite, even by royal standards. A special call out to the collection of Raja Ravi Varma's works, which is the largest at any single place. And another one to the armoury, which has a the best collection of swords I have seen. The museum has audio guides, which makes the experience of visiting the palace much richer. Essential visit while in Baroda. Keep 2-3 hours aside for it.

We visited the ISKCON temple on Diwali day to seek blessings of the almighty. The temple was beautifully decorated with lamps and there was a lovely Rangoli at the entrance. All the idols of the lord - Shri Radha Krishna, Shri Jagannath,Balram & Subhadra devi were beautifully decorated. The mahaprasad was awesome. They also have a lovely restaurant called Govinda where one can have superb vegetarian food. Must visit place for one and all !!!

This temple is located in cantonment area like Hanuman Temple of Ahmedabad. The vehicle has to be parked outside and one needs to walk 200-300 meters to reach the temple. Id card has to be submitted at the gate. The walk is in the peaceful and serene cantonment area which is a great experience. It's open till 8 PM. Its a must visit place of Vadodara.
