Nazarbaug Palace

Nazarbaug Palace or Nazar Bāgh Palace was the Gaekwad's royal palace in the city of Vadodara, Gujarat state, western India. Located in the heart of the city, the palace was built by Malhar Rao Gaekwad in 1871. Considered to be the oldest palace in Baroda, in its later years it was used as a treasury and was still the first choice of the royal family for conducting large-scale ceremonies, including the coronation of Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III.

The Palace had a classic look, so in Gujarati it was told about its look as 'Nazar Na Laage' (may it be protected from the evil eye) from which it was named Nazar. The Palace also had beautiful garden from which its name included "baug". So it was named as Nazarbaug Palace.
