Narasimha temple at Baroda

WOODEN TEMPLES AND HAVELIS
Hindu
19th-20th C

Baroda was developed in the 18th century by the Gaekwad family who were allies of the Marathas. Some wooden temples and havelis in the old city are dilapidated and in danger of collapsing. The wooden temples or haveli mandirs do not have shikharas. They are constructed in the same style as the dwellings but they are colourfully painted.
