Khanderao Market, Vadodara

Khanderao Market is a palace-like commercial building on Chamaraja Road in Vadodara, Gujarat. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III put it up in 1906–07 and presented it to the municipality as a gift for the 25th year of his reign, naming it after his predecessor and adoptive father, Khanderao Gaekwad. It cost about ₹3 lakh. The Vadodara Municipal Corporation has its offices here, with vegetable and flower markets in the back garden.

The English architect Robert Chisholm designed it in the Indo-Saracenic style. The two-storey building has two bays, each 70 by 34 feet, joined by an overhead passage beneath a central dome 86 feet high, with brick walls faced in Dhrangadhra stone. The main gate draws on the gate of Dabhoi Fort, the domes on Hindu temples and the arches on Islamic building, while the pierced stone screens recall those of Agra. Some 192 shops line the sides of a large open courtyard, where a statue of Khanderao by V. P. Karmarkar was unveiled in 1935.
