28 Jan
Summary
- Kirti Mandir campus to become a cultural and leisure hub.
- Vishwamitri ghats will be cleaned and restored.
- The 90-year-old Kirti Mandir will undergo comprehensive restoration.
Vadodara's Kirti Mandir campus is slated for a significant transformation into a new cultural and leisure destination for the city. Royal scion Samarjitsinh Gaekwad revealed plans to revitalize the historic precinct, aiming to seamlessly integrate heritage with daily life. This initiative will create a serene hangout zone where citizens can enjoy the surroundings.
The project includes the crucial restoration and cleaning of the Vishwamitri ghats, which hold historical importance and are located behind Kirti Mandir. These ghats will be brought back to their original character. Furthermore, the 90-year-old Kirti Mandir, a prominent landmark in Vadodara known for its Indo-Saracenic architecture, will undergo a comprehensive restoration. Efforts were previously made to address structural issues like cracks on its roof and dome due to water seepage.
The Kirti Mandir campus also houses a Shiv Temple, Kubereshwar Dutt Temple, and an art gallery. While the building is generally closed to the public, this redevelopment seeks to open up its grounds for citizens to appreciate its historical significance and architectural beauty.
