It also boasts 122 different varieties of colourful birds, such as the blue crown pigeon. The Sayaji Bagh also has ten different types of reptiles. 1962 the Sayaji Baug Zoo added an aquarium with 45 other fish species.

Why is Sayaji Baug called Kamauti Baug?

It was a gift by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III in 1879 to the residents of his Baroda State. The Sayaji Bagh is also famous as Kamati Bagh because the spot was Kamathipura village before the park. The Kamathipura village is near the Vishwamitri River.
