It was declared a protected monument in 1969 and was conserved in 1999. It was recharged later by digging in 2004.Make Amritvarshini Vav part of your personalized Ahmedabad itinerary using our Ahmedabad route site.

The state of Gujarat has many 'vavs' - stepwells. While some like the one at Patan or the one at Adalaj are celebrated, there are dozens which are hidden away. Among them is the Amritvarshini vav...

Amritavarshini Vav, also known as Panchkuva Stepwell , is a stepwell near the Panchkuva Darwaja in Ahmedabad.

It is located at walking distance from Kalupur railway station. L-shaped Vav. Marvellous heritage structure. I joined the team of Adi Foundation to clean the Vav. These are the pictures after the cleaning was done. Request everyone to keep it clean when visit this place.

This vav is peculiar for its L shaped construction hence called as in gujarati as katkhuni vav or L shape. Once you reach this location , as shown in Google, don't get disheartened if entry gate is locked. Adjacent to vav is a temple whose priest will give you the keys with a request to return without forgetting. Just as you enter, read the description of vav and soak in the historic heritage monument built for reaching the well at an angle. You appreciate as you move along and around the Vav. Well maintained and worth visiting. Enjoy.
