Vadodara, block by block

Nirmaan starts in Vadodara - Baroda - in Gujarat. Its first place is the heart of the old city: Mandvi Gate, where the walled city's main roads meet, and the streets around it.

What's there today

• Mandvi Gate, built from photos of the real one, with the chowk in front of it.
• The old city's lanes: painted houses, carved teak balconies, jaali windows and shop fronts.
• Lanterns at night that light the streets as the sun goes down.
• Cows, dogs, pigeons and more - animals and birds you'll meet on a real street in India.
• The garba ground at the chowk, alive every night of Navratri.

Open the menu and tap Go to Vadodara to get there from anywhere in your world. The city's landmarks can't be broken, so they look the same for everyone.
