Mithi Vav, Stepwell in Palanpur, India.

The Mithi Vav features five distinct levels accessible from the western side, with intricate carvings decorating the walls and steps throughout the structure.

Built during the eighth century under Parmara rule, this stepwell includes sculptures adorned with inscriptions dating back to 1263 AD on its stone surfaces.

The walls display detailed stone carvings of Hindu deities, including Ganesha and Shiva, along with images of dancing figures and devotional scenes.

Located in eastern Palanpur, this water reservoir remains accessible for visitors interested in examining the engineering methods of ancient Indian water systems.

The stepwell represents the last remaining architectural structure from the Parmara period in the Palanpur region of Gujarat.
