Transport

Key shoestring move: arrive by train at Ekta Nagar where possible. The station is only a few km from the Statue complex and shuttle/e-rickshaw options exist. Inside the destination: - use official shuttles/buses between attractions; - don't keep booking a private cab for every internal hop. No general city travel card.

Shopping

1. Ekta Mall — state handicrafts; convenient, not necessarily cheapest. 2. Unity/attraction souvenir outlets — easiest but tourist priced. 3. Local Ekta Nagar stalls — snacks/small souvenirs. 4. Vadodara markets for serious budget shopping before/after trip. 5. Tribal craft outlets where provenance is clear.
