Rani Ki Vav (lit. 'The Queen's Stepwell') is a stepwell situated in the town of Patan in Gujarat, India. Its construction is attributed to Udayamati, the spouse of the 11th-century Chaulukya king Bhima I. Silted over, it was rediscovered in the 1940s and restored in the 1980s. This stepwell is designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water. It is divided into seven levels of stairs with sculptural panels. These panels have more than 500 principal sculptures and over 1000 minor ones combining religious, secular, and symbolic imagery.
@Rainmaker1973 Sci-fi movie 🎬, the idea and execution are just awesome.
@Rainmaker1973 closer look of the stairs going down the well!
@Rainmaker1973 Rani Ki Vav, the stepwell in Patan, Gujarat, is overrated. Its restoration didn't do justice. Your Thoughts?
@Rainmaker1973 India has the most amazing structures
