We visited this wonderful place in 2009 and we were really overwhelmed when entering, which means going downstairs. It is a really impressing site in Gujarat, where you can discover such a lot of beautiful places.

Stepwells are a very special form of subterranean water resource and storage systems on the Indian subcontinent, and have been constructed since the 3rd millennium BC. Till now I have not heared from stepwells in other countrys.

It is a spectacular building with a long and rich history, a long way off the beaten tourist tracks. We visited this place on a 8 day journey through Gujarat whith a driver from Ahmedabad and visited it, like al lot of other people together with the sun temple of Modhera, also an interesting and really worthy place. 

The fact it was buried for centuries and only recently excavated tells a fascinationg story. It was our first stepwell we have ever seen and we I like the general architecture.
