Pleasantly surprised to find it clean and well maintained. Beautiful Stepwell, one of the larger ones.
Great and old vintage well is great! If you leave near by you should visit it
Nice and quiet historical site. Both visitors as well as the government should help protect the site from further deterioration

The vav is over five hundred years old. To reach its well-shaft, one needs to pass through thirteen arches. Here and there, traces of embellishment are found in the form of carving on stone. Geometric patterns are the common motif. A niche built into a side-wall depicts a tree of life. Another niche carries Hindu icons, blurred beyond recognition. A blue board outside the main gate of the vav declares it a monument of national importance. Inside, it is kept clean. But few from the town seem interested in coming here anymore.
No one care .. even people don't know that there is a such a place here.
