Inside the Royal home of Vadodara (For Garba) | India

Описание: This Royal Residence is the largest in the world, and its estimated worth is $5 billion. Today, I'm not just touring the Lukshmi Vilas Palace, but also attending the LVP Heritage Garba. Additionally, the Maharani of Baroda, Radhikaraje Gaekwad, was extremely gracious in talking to Eshan and me for a podcast, which is coming soon! A huge thank you to the Laxmi Vilas Palace team for opening their doors and sharing their stories with us and if you liked this one, please like, share and SUBSCRIBE!

This isn’t just another travel vlog. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where we got to -

Explore the Laxmi Vilas Palace, the world’s largest private residence
Meet Her Highness Maharani Radhikaraje Gaekwad inside the palace
Play Heritage Garba with 20-30,000 people under the night sky
Experience the aarti and temple rituals up close
Visit Gazra Café - Gujarat’s first transgender-run café, right on palace grounds
Discover the deeper meaning of Garba

This time in Vadodara, I went to these places:

Lukshmi Vilas Palace
Lukshmi Vilas Palace Heritage Garba
House of Tavajo (for renting my outfits)
Thirteen Thirtyone Lounge (Arguably the best coffee experience in India)
Jay Mahakali Sev Usal

From sipping coffee at local cafés to dancing in concentric circles with thousands of people, this vlog is about more than just celebration. And trust me, this Indian festival truly belongs on everyone’s bucket list. And I know that I may not have covered everything about Vadodara in this one, so please share your recommendations for any upcoming visit and let me know what else we should cover!

Additionally, this video was a collaborative effort, and I’m thrilled to introduce the team behind it!
