== History ==<br />
This road was named after [[Chamaraja Wodayar X|Chamaraja Wodayar]] by [[Sayajirao Gaekwad III|Sayajirao Gaekwad]] in 1888. Both then Yuvarajas were very good friends and Sayajirao Gaekwad named the road leading to the Palace through Gate-2 as Chamaraja Road. Similarly a road bordering [[Mysore Palace]] on east direction was named [[Sayajirao Road]] when Sayajirao Gaekwad visited [[Mysore]] in late 1893. During his visit, Sayajirao Gaekwad was inspired by the huge collection of rare manuscripts in [[Oriental Research Institute Mysore|Oriental Research Institute, Mysore]] and started a new [[Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda#Oriental Institute|Oriental Institute]] in [[Vadodara]] on 1 September 1927 in Central Library and later shifted to a dedicated campus near Palace. Now the [[Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda#Oriental Institute|Institute]] is affiliated to [[Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda]].<ref>{{cite news|date=6 October 2010|title=Oriental Institute's journey to glory|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-10-06/vadodara/28272002_1_manuscript-ayodhya-verdict-saryu|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103175743/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-10-06/vadodara/28272002_1_manuscript-ayodhya-verdict-saryu|archive-date=3 November 2012}}</ref> Another similarity between these stalwarts is both of them were adopted from Maharajas and went on to become the rulers of their Kingdom.<ref>{{cite news|date=28 December 2009|title=A bit of Baroda in Mysore: Road in Sayajirao's name main market|work=[[The Times of India]]|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-12-28/vadodara/28106383_1_maharaja-ranjitsinh-gaekwad-erstwhile-baroda-state-oriental-institute|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103182251/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-12-28/vadodara/28106383_1_maharaja-ranjitsinh-gaekwad-erstwhile-baroda-state-oriental-institute|archive-date=3 November 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=December 28, 2009|first=Prashant|last=Rupera |title=A bit of Baroda in Mysore: Road in Sayajirao's name main market|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/a-bit-of-baroda-in-mysore-road-in-sayajiraos-name-main-market/articleshow/5389215.cms|access-date=2022-01-18|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref><br />
