Amritavarshini Vav, Stepwell near Panchkuva Darwaja, Ahmedabad, India
The Amritavarshini Vav extends more than 50 feet deep into the ground, featuring three distinct levels with architectural elements from Hindu and Islamic traditions.
Raja Raghunathdas, who served as diwan for Gujarat governor Haidar Quli Khan, commissioned the construction of this stepwell, which was completed in 1723.
The inscription plates in both Devanagari and Persian scripts at the stepwell demonstrate the multicultural character of Ahmedabad during the 18th century.
The stepwell remains accessible through a local temple family who maintains the keys and opens the gate upon request for visitors.
This L-shaped stepwell displays different arch designs on each of its two stories, with a pavilion tower preceding the main water shaft.
