Nyay Mandir
ન્યાય મંદિર
An Indo-Saracenic building completed in 1896, first used as a town hall and later as a court, making it the most ornate public building in the old city.
Nyay Mandir was completed in 1896. It was originally built as a town hall to commemorate Chimnabai, the first queen of Sayajirao III, and later served for a long time as the district court of Vadodara, hence the name 'Hall of Justice.' The building blends Indian, Islamic and Gothic styles, with elaborate arcades, domes and spires, and its great hall contains a statue of Queen Chimnabai.
After the court moved out, plans were made to convert the building into a museum and other uses, so access to the interior varies; generally, visitors view it from the outside. Located in the center of the old city, it is within walking distance of Sursagar Lake and Mandvi Gate.
