The stepwells have been used in India for 1500 years for collection and storage of water, over the time they evolved into complex works of art and architecture. Rani-ki-Vav (the Queens Stepwell) in Patan, Gujarat, India was built in the 11th century AD. It is UNESCO World Heritage site for: Rani-ki-Vav was built at the height of craftsmens ability in stepwell construction and the Maru-Gurjara architectural style, reflecting mastery of this complex technique and great beauty of detail and proportions. Designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water, it is divided into seven levels of stairs with sculptural panels of high artistic quality; more than 500 principle sculptures and over a thousand minor ones combine religious, mythological and secular imagery, often referencing literary works. (quote from whc. unesco. org/en/list/922) The Sun Temple in Modhera was built in 11th century AD, it is another stunning architectural creation of the Indian architects of the past. In front of the temple is the stepped tank/reservoir. The Adalaj Stepwell, near Ahmedabad was built at the end of the 15th century, it is intricately carved and is five stories deep.

Wow my blessed India that's why it is recognised as God's own home. We must be proud to be Indian and we are should carry on our culture. Not spoil and also don't let the other spoil. Our God has given everything to India and fulfilled it with many things that are rare to world but we are not recognising our culture even by mistake or personal intention but stop doing it and stop other also and tell them to love our mother. INDIA BHARAT. Vande MATARAM

Government should focus on developing Indian tourism industry. We were the economic, spiritual and cultural superpower of the world for almost 2000 years until the decline post 17th century. A flourishing and SUSTAINABLE tourism would be beneficial to all. But at the same time making sure to not create another Barcelona or Venice, which are getting destroyed by commercialization.

You rediscovered India. The world envies now. Our ancestors are more aesthetic than us. Their dreams carved in stone. The Music is fantastic but western oriented. India will thank you for your effort to bring back it's glorious past.

The buildings are so intricate. We think we are more advanced. Think again. We don't make anything so beautifully stunning today. Thank-you for bringing us these wonderful videos. I had no idea these buildings existed.

I wonder how they made sure of the water quality. If the wells are so deep. how come the water does not collect now? What happens in monsoon? Do the modern engineers pump out the water?

These constructions were made with a technology called Shamir. This technology was created on the second day of creation by God. This is written in the Torah of the Jewish people.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been to India, but not to Gujarat. It's a country I wouldn't mind to travel over and over again. Chaotic but fascinating nonetheless.
