Baroda or Vadodara?
Vadorada and Baroda are actually two different names for the same city. Therefore the STD code of 0265 is the Baroda landline code as well as the Vadodara landline code. The city was actually originally called Chandanavati. Later the city came to be known as Vadodara, which means ‘in the heart of the Banyan tree’ in Sanskrit. However when the English arrived as merchants they referred to the city as Baroda. In 1974 the name was officially changed back to Vadodara and this remains the official name of the city.
