Built in
1936 as a royal mausoleum of the Gaekwad dynasty, Kirti Mandir now stands as a
glorious monument of Vadodara. The grand building, situated in the heart of the
city, was set up in the honor of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III's silver

domes and a brilliantly carved 35 meters high
central shikhara. Although it looks simple from the outside, but the temple
interiors showcases impressive pictures, murals by Nandalal Bose, based on
themes like Gangavataran, Life of Meera, the battle of Mahabharat and Natir
Poojan and some rare paintings from the famous artist Raja Ravi Varma. No
doubt, Gaekwad's were the heir to a tradition of oriental refinement, a great
patron of the arts, literature, philosophy and science, all these are best
depicted through the exteriors and interiors of Kirti Mandir.
