A big garden with walking paths lined with trees, this place is more popular
for its spicy snacks 'chevoda' made out of rice flakes. It acts as a backdrop
to the Memorial Institutes built in the memory of people who served for
the cause of Kathiawar during their times. These buildings remain as
remnants of the colonial past of Rajkot, and houses the Conaught Hall,
Watson Museum and Lang Library. The Conaugt Hall was built to commemorate
the visit of Duke of Conaught to Kathiawar in 1887 A.D. This building
was later named Senate Hall and presently is known as Arvindbhai Maniar
Town Hall.
