Indumati Palace (Mahal) is a Palace located just opposite to Lukshmi Villas Palace, Vadodara (Baroda). The Palace had very rare photographs of Royal Gaekwad Family and historic books. This 1880 brick building is named after Maharaja Sayajirao Gekwad IIIs daughter, Indumati, and now has the personal offices of the Gaekwad family. It is a typical Maratha-styled wada.
Earlier, the Ganesh Sthapna of the Royal Family used to be done here at Indumati Palace, so it was a important building for the Gaekwad Family. The Building has some very nice touch of Peshwa and Mughal Style Architecture.
Here's a handscome building in the 120 acre park of the Baroda Sayaji Baug, the park designed and established for Maharaja Sayajinao Gaekwad III (1863-1939). It was built 1878-9 as a garden pavilion for his majesty when he was tired of walking in that park. Later, in 1932, it was remade into the Health Museum. A wonderfully elegant but robust building it's in a late Palladian style. Inside it has Art-Deco features.
There's a cluster of unhatched eggs below the bug, and another hatched lot to the left of the picture.
Some nice reflections just before sundown. The beach falls dark a bit earlier and was already shadowy at least half an hour before sundown. No-one else here although saw some footprints. The beach is Cowdroys and access is not easy. I had a long walk and a drive through two waterholes on a rough track to get through before dark. Was already there a couple of hours and no-one else in sight.
We took the backroads on the way back home and passed thru some nice little towns In SW Michigan. Baroda had some nice finds. Always nice to see the local barber shop.
A candy apple leader smokes for what it's worth as it digs the CP Wells local into the hills just east of Wells, Minnesota.
This artistic "welcome" sign definitely gets ones attention. Baroda Township is a small, rural township centrally located in Berrien County, Michigan, and is noted principally for its farms and (more recently) wineries. This sign is located at the intersection of Hills and Snow roads south of the village of Baroda.
