Baramotichi Vihir, Water Heritage Site in Limb village, Maharashtra, India

The octagonal stepwell measures 110 feet in depth and 50 feet in diameter, featuring a central palace with four staircases leading upwards.

Between 1719 and 1724, Virubai Bhosale, secondary wife of Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, commissioned the construction of this water structure.

Four tiger sculptures at the top of the well represent power through their strategic placement, while a stone chair marks the meeting place.

Located 16 kilometers from Satara and 99 kilometers from Pune, the stepwell requires navigation through narrow village lanes to reach the entrance.

The structure contains twelve moats for water flow management and includes two hidden passages known as Chor Darwaza leading to the underground sections.

Location: Satara district
