Akhaj Shakti Kund - Historical place museum in Akhaj - Mehsana, India

Extremely well sculpted kunda believed to be from late 10th century. It has five layers and 72 niches housing the sculptures of various deities. There's huge Banyan tree in the premises. Lateral flight of steps lead down to the well. Akhaj is tremendously prosperous village.

Some very unique statues are here. Very much remote monument, almost unknown but have some unique figure or carving of lord Ganesha and some others. Any archaeology lover must visit it. And if you like please give marks to my review.

Well maintained and cleaning process is doing by villagers. You can spend 1 hour . very peaceful place with awesome sculpture
