TOUR

Baroda, a city with a past steeped in ancient history and imperial royalty, is complemented by highly progressive commercialism. The city has wide majestic tree lined avenues, endless gardens, and architectural edifices. The economic and industrial progress of Baroda with it's cultural diversity and princely heritage is commendable.

Kirti Temple Baroda is always typified as an industrial city. When we established our hotel in Baroda and asked the locals, they said there is no tourism place in Baroda. We went deeper into the cultural wealth endowed by the city pioneers and un-swirled these jewels. They had always been there, but were buried under the sands of time.
