Description:
The prominent of all the temples in Baroda is the Kirti Mandir. This temple was built in 1936 by Maharaja Sayaji Rao to perpetuate the glorious memory of his ancestors. It is a magnificent building with domes and terraces and houses a cluster of Shiva temples. The highlight of this temple is its exquisite murals that adorn the interior walls, depicting mythological stories made by the renowned Bengali artist Nandalal Bose.
The few other important temples include the huge court building, which houses the court but is called the Nyay Mandir or temple of Justice. Another is the ancient royal temple dedicated to God Sun, the Surya Mandir.
