Summary
[edit]DescriptionRoho Vav, Amirgadh Stepwell Gujarat 036.jpg |
English: The Roho stepwell, also called as Roho Vav or Amirgadh Vav, is a historic site notable for public water infrastructure with Hindu motifs. It was rebuilt from white marble ruins in the 16th century, under sponsorship of a Hindu queen Champa and her daughter princess Sajjabai. Its entrance is flanked by two Hindu shrines, which gets covered with grass after monsoons. The stepwell itself is 8 feet broad stair leads down to the ground water in an octagonal well shaft. The architects provided for stages and space to stop and rest. The pillars and pilasters are notable, and contain four Sanskrit inscriptions which help understand the history and date this monument.
The ruins used to build this stepwell came from at least two 13th-century Hindu temples, as confirmed by partial inscriptions on them. These were remains from nearby temples destroyed by Gujarat Sultanate. The niches and pilasters have notable, though desecrated, Hindu artwork. The stepwell is also notable for its elegant linear architecture. |
