The frown, the smile, the sorrow, the worry, those little figures, and faces have it all. We are not talking about the Padmapani and Vajrapani from the walls of Ajanta, but the forms painted on the walls of the monuments of Vadodara. Over 80 monuments in the city have breathtaking murals, half of which require special attention. Due to its central geographical location, travelers have always dropped into the city since time immemorial and have mingled their culture with that of the local culture. Art is also not an exception. We find a variety of styles which include the Sultanate style, Mughal style, Maratha style and many other schools of painting have made their presence felt on these walls.
