In a recent aecheological discovery a step well that is more than 5000 years old has been found in Kutch, apparently larger than Mohenjadaro ..Dating back to the Bronze age , there is excavation work being carried out to reveal all that is buried underneath !

This stepwell is a rare thing to see in modern times, haven't seen such a stepwell...drawing water from such well would be much easier.

In fact in Rajasthan and Gujrat there are quite a few stepwells old and not so old. The pne I visited in Gujrat was well preserved although it was a few hundred or even a thousand year old...have posted a picture of the same that I took..

Which one is this? I have seen the one at Adalaj near Ahmedabad! It is a very magnificent and beautifully preserved structure!

Very well constructed. Air circulation and sun lights are easily entering to the well. Now-a-days in some wells we can see cockroach and mammals and there is no water. The ancient people constructions are still standing out.

Even in Golconda, the water conservation systems are still marveled by toda's Town planners The fort has an ingeniously evolved water supply system. The water raised by Persian wheels was stored in overhead tanks at different levels. Water thus collected was effectively distributed to various mahals,

True, it is scientifically planned and executed and still stands in excellent condition...

It is indeed a very beautiful place. Here's the photo from a different angle taken by me of that stepwell.

All the photos contributed by the members made a feast to my eye. Additionally, they spoke loudly about The Indian heritage especially archeological marvels.
My special thanks to Usha.
