Brahma Vav, 14th-century stepwell in Khedbrahma, India.

The Brahma Vav stepwell extends 38 meters in length with four pavilion towers, featuring a stepped corridor that leads to an 8-meter-wide water well.

Constructed during the 14th century, this stepwell includes memorial stones dedicated to village gatekeepers who died fighting against Maharaja Shivsinhji of Idar.

The stepwell holds religious importance for both Humad Digambara Jains and Khedaval Brahmins, who perform religious ceremonies at the site.

The structure, built with grey granite stone, narrows progressively from its 8.5-meter entrance width as visitors descend toward the water source.

The walls of the stepwell shaft display an ornamental sequence of miniature shrines that reflect architectural elements found in local temples.
