Meet verified people in Sayajigunj, Vadodara

Sayajigunj is home to the Maharaja Sayajirao University, one of India’s most respected universities, and to Sayaji Baug, the city’s great public garden. The area is full of students, faculty, cafés, bookshops and small eateries, and it has a lively, creative atmosphere, shaped especially by the famous fine arts faculty. For Myra members, Sayajigunj offers some of the most interesting first-date settings in Vadodara, from art exhibitions to garden walks. Introductions here often include people from Fatehgunj, Alkapuri, Arunodaya Society, Pratapgunj and Kala Ghoda, depending on your distance limit. A walk in Sayaji Baug, a visit to the museum and a coffee at a student café make a relaxed and memorable first meeting. Many members here value art, music and ideas, which often appear as shared interests on introductions. The area is busy during the day and quieter after the university closes. Weekends are especially pleasant in the garden, when families and students gather on the lawns. During the university’s cultural festivals, the campus hosts music, theatre and art events that make memorable later dates. On weekends, the gardens are lively with families, which keeps things comfortable. The university was founded in 1949 and named after Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, the reformist ruler who promoted free education in his state. Its Faculty of Fine Arts, established in 1950, has trained some of India’s leading artists, and its annual Fine Arts Fair is a much-loved event. The domed Arts Faculty building, finished in 1881, is one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks. Its Kala Ghoda statue honours the Maharaja.
