Nyay Mandir is a historical site in the Gujarat city of Vadodara. It is one of the heritage buildings in Baroda and one of the must-see places to visit in Vadodara, located near Sursagar Lake.

Nyay Mandir, which covers an area of 4 acres, was previously famous as Chimnabai Nyay Mandir. It contains a big central hall with a statue of Chimnabai and an Italian marble facade that cost around Rs. 7,00,000 to build. The staircase is composed of wood and has an old feel to it. 

Pratapsinhrao Gaekwad, the last monarch of Baroda, delivered his final address from the building's balcony before submitting it to the Indian Union.

The High Court used it before independence, and the District Court of Vadodara has since utilized it. Still, the court complex has since been relocated to Diwalipura. The building is now being under construction to put it in good condition. The Nyay Mandir is worth visiting on the Vadodara tour package.
