'''Nazarbaug Palace''' or Nazar Bāgh Palace was the [[Gaekwad]]'s royal palace in the city of [[Vadodara]], [[Gujarat]] state, western [[India]]. The Nazar Bāgh Palace' was built in 1721. It had three storeys and is the oldest palace in Baroda. It was constructed by Malhār Rāo Gaekwad in the late 19th century. This palace was used on ceremonial occasions by the Gaekwads. Till recently, it housed the royal family heirlooms. It had solid [[gold]] and [[silver]] guns, each barrel weighing over 100 kg. The grounds also contain the ''Shïsh Mahal'', a Palace of Glass.

The Palace had a classic look, so in Gujarati it was told about its look as 'Nazar na laage' from which it was named Nazar. The Palace also had beautiful garden from which its name included baug. So it was named as Nazarbaug Palace.<ref>http://www.historyofvadodara.in/2009/08/Nazarbaug-Palace.html</ref>

The white-[[stucco]] palace was the depository of the jewels of the Gaekwad family, and in 1927 the collection was believed to be worth $10,000,000 at the time, including a diamond necklace which carried both the [[Star of the South]] diamond, weight around 125 carats, and the [[English Dresden]]; another important part of the collection was a cloth embroidered with precious stones and seed pearls, made to cover the tomb of [[Mohammed|Muḥammad]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0kAbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=P0oEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3086,6808320&dq=baroda-state&hl=en|title=Baroda City of Palace|date=14 August 1927|work=[[The Pittsburgh Press]]}}</ref>
