Vadodara or Baroda, situated on the banks of the river Vishwamitri was earlier the capital city of the Gaekwad state. This area was called Vadapadraka.

Archaeological remains dating back to two thousand years around the river Vishwamitri clarify that there was a small settlement known as the Ankottaka, near a grove of Akola trees, which is now called Akota. Then a kilometer down east, a locality came up near a thick forest of vad or Banyan trees. In the place of Vadapadraka, today's Vadodora has come up. The word Vadodara is derived from the word

'Vatodar'. This Sanskrit word means 'the stomach of the banyan tree'. Later during British rule this name degenerated into Baroda and was known so until recently till it returned to the original name.
