Vadodara

• Location: Gujarāt/India
• Variant names: Vadapadraka, Chandanavati, Varāvati, Vatpatraka, Baroda

All the names are derived from the Sanskrit vaṭodar, itself from vaṭa 'banyan tree', except for Chandanavati when the city was named after Raja Chandan. It assumed its present name in 1971.
