ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS BACK THE SECOND TORAN, WHICH IS MORE BEAUTIFUL OF THE TWO, WAS DISMANTLED FOR CARRYING TO VADODARA.AT THE BEHEST OF MAHARAJA SAYAJI RAO GAEKWAD. PEOPLE OF VADNAGAR OPPOSED THE MOVE. THE PROJECT WAS DROPPED, BUT THE DISMANTLED TORAN WAS LEFT IN SEPERATE PARTS NEAR THE FIRST TORAN. IN COURSE OF TIME SOME FINE STATUETES BELONGING TO THE UPPER PARTS OF THE TORAN GOT STOLEN. HOWEVER, IN 2007 THE ASI TOOK UP RECONSTRUCTION OF THE TORAN. NOW THE RECONSTRUCTED TORAN PROVIDES A GREAT SIGHT.
