This place is situated in Narrow Lanes and is not much visited by tourists but for folks with interest in history and architecture, the place is worth visiting. The walls and woodwork is very nice but reaching here is but tricky as this place is situated in narrow lanes of Raopura Area.

Tambekar Wada is located at Tambkear no Khancho, Raopura Area, Vadodara (Baroda).
It is a three-storeyed building which is a typical Maratha Mansion, which was once the residence of Bhau Tambekar.
Inside of Wada, there are some of the most beautiful but decaying 19th Century murals. The Building is almost 140+ Years Old.
Tambekar Wada is a spacious, four-storey building that has been constructed in an oblong fashion. It is originally the former residence of the Baroda State Diwan or Minister, Bhau Tambekar, who owned the responsibility of the administration of the state. The walls, doors and ceilings on the first and second floors of this old fashion building are adorned with the best specimens of mural paintings dating back to 17th and 18th centuries. Other wall paintings dating back to the first half of the 19th century represent epic scenes depicting the life of the people. The paintings are in poly-chrome and are of Maratha style of paintings of 19th century A.D. They are the best specimen of mural paintings in Gujarat. Most of the paintings have been restored by the Archaeological Survey of India. The ASI still attend to the chemical treatments of these paintings on a frequent basis.
There are Paintings of Lord Krishna in childhood breaking Pot, Lord Krishna doing Raas with Gopi’s, Lord Ganesha in childhood etc. Also it has British-Maratha Fight Paintings.
According to Archeaological Survey of India (ASI), paintings in Tambekar Wada are made during Year 1874. There are ~300 Paintings in Wada from 1st to 3rd floor. The Paintings are not only painted at wall, but also it is painted on door frames. Also there is nice design of Jali’s and wood carving. The backside of the building is in dilapidated condition. ASI & VMC plans to repair it.

Tambekar Wada was once home of Bhai saheb Tambekar who. Was Diwan of Baroda state and It is named after him as Tambekar Wada. Its three storeyed building, though now its old and demands renovation. Its all the walls ,doors,windows are paintained in Indian art pictures ,Lord Krishna and many other. Mural painting are very old as Tambekar Wada is more then -100- yrs old.for tourist having special knowhow of old art and paintings will like it very much. Nice to visit.

We had a job finding this beautiful old building but are so pleased we got there. The old Haveli has most of its interior walls covered in paintings, many of which are damaged but are still very interesting and evocative.Hopefully funds will come to enable the building and paintings to be preserved as it definitely has its place in the history of Vadodara. A really interesting visit.

Interesting!! Worth a visit to get a feel of fast dying culture of ' wada' from Maharashtra. While the paintings are damaged, the restoration work is on.
