Rani ki Vav
Rani ki Vav (The Queen's Stepwell) is a remarkable stepwell located in Patan, Gujarat, on the banks of the Saraswati River. It was constructed in 1063 AD by Rani Udayamati in memory of her husband, King Bhimdev I of the Chaulukya dynasty.
The stepwell is designed as an inverted temple, representing the sanctity of water, with intricate carvings and sculptures depicting various Hindu deities.
Rani ki Vav is renowned for its superior craftsmanship and unique Maru-Gurjara architectural style. It features more than 800 sculptures, mostly on Vishnu-avatar themes, and striking geometric patterns. The stepwell was silted over and buried under the earth for centuries until it was rediscovered in the 1940s and restored by the Archaeological Survey of India in the 1980s.
It was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2014.
