Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara, Gujarat, India

Laxmi Vilas Palace is one place that I have been hearing so much about all the while growing up as a kid in this beautiful cultural city called VADODARA in a prosperous state of GUJARAT in the most divine and amazing country INDIA.

I lived in Vadodara all my childhood but never went to this humongous but beautiful palace. It was only when I was away from my hometown, I got inspired and curious to go and see what this palace is about. To go and see why it is so much talked about. To go and see why it so near and dear to all the Barodian’s (Vadodara was known as Baroda before and people living here are referred as Barodian’s).

I am glad that I ended up visiting Laxmi Vilas Palace. Visiting this palace made me wonder how brilliant the architects back then and how skilled the laborers were. This masterpiece building has been unaffected for decades. The view from the balconies and the main rooms are amazing. The details put in the interior designs are mind blowing.

The interiors show how much did the kings and the royal families enjoyed Fine arts and how much it was valued back then. The lush green golf ground in the front takes this palace to the next league of royalty.

Please take a look at few of the clicks I was able to capture during my visit to this magnificent palace in the culture city of India.
