Jama Masjid,Champaner About 47 kms from Vadodara in Gujarat is a not so well-known city by the name of Champaner. I am not certain why this city is not as well-known as the other cities in Gujarat considering that this city used to be the capital of Gujarat for a brief period of time. And t he best thing about Champaner is the architectural wonders that it houses.
