Step-well of Ambapur

The Step-well of Ambapur (Gujarati: અંબાપુરની વાવ, Hindi: अंबापुर बावड़ी or Hindi:अंबापुर बावली, Marathi: अंबापूर बारव) is a Hindu 'water building' in the village of Ambapur, close to the state capital, Gandhinagar. The stepwell was built in the 15th century by Queen Rudabai Vaghela as a funeral monument to Ranjeetsinh Vaghela. The step-well or 'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories in depth. Such step wells were once integral to the semi-arid regions of Gujarat as they provided basic water needs for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for festivals and sacred rituals.
