The Vaav at Bhadaj

The Vaav at Bhadaj is a partially excavated stepwell of unknown origins, made entirely out of bricks. The lower levels and the main well remain buried while unbridled vegetation has usurped the parts above ground. The russet bricks and lush green overgrowth renders a rustic charm to the site which is often lit up by lamps on special occasions by priests of nearby temples.

Stepwells of Ahmedabad is sponsored by the Asian American Cultural Center (AACC), Yale School of Architecture Exhibitions Fund and Anthill Design. The research on these stepwells was initiated in 2015 as an initiative of Anthill Design.
