Karnavati Kala Kendra - Historical place in Ahmedabad - Ahmadabad, India

A must visit for history and heritage enthusiasts. The place is well maintained and has a small garden surrounding. The basement layers are well lit naturally. Also the place has good connectivity via public transport. I commuted by brts during my solo Ahmedabad tour. Good for photographers as well.

This quite an offbeat place in Ahmedabad for heritage lovers. Tucked away from the mainstream the step well is located in the dense part of Ahmedabad. There is not much onsite information available about this place so Google it before you visit. It seems this site was resurrected in 2018 and due to COVID they couldn't do much publicity later on. The place remains open from 9 to 5. There is a security guard, he is nice and cooperative but hardly knows any history about the place. This place is just 2-min walking distance from BRT station of Isanpur Chokdi. You might find parking difficult so better to take BRTS as that's what I did. The step well resembles quite a lot to Rani ki vav but it is a bit smaller and 3 storied. There are circular stairs on top that takes you to different floors. Overall, it is a stunning piece of old architecture.

Visited on 9th Nov 2019. Site maintained by ASI, Clean. Green. Vav is also clean. Well maintained. Can go to the lowest level (unlike many other vavs). Worth visiting. There is a interesting looking masjid next to this vav, it was closed when I went there. Worth a visit. Pics attached.

5 stars both for cleanliness maintained and presence of a wholesome Vav structure. Elaborating same of many Vavs seen, except Patans Rani ki Vav which is a UNESCO site, this is a clean maintained Vav. Do not visit this vav if looking for carvings, idols and miniature sculpture but in sense of a characteristic Vav,this place earns 100 marks and meet all your queries and lays before you a full fleged functional Vav. The basics entry dome, descending steps, supportive pillars, slabs, three of spiraling stairwells all functional, central well, water arteries for storage and channeling, All intact. The surrounding garden is also well kept. Google leads to this Vav. Parking is your arrangements as entry is on main road just as Isanpur overbridge ends. Timings sunrise to sunset.Free entry. Only surprising that nowhere in whole vicinity this Vav name is displayed which is popular and known as Jethabhai Vav. But kudos to concerned officials and staff who have maintained this Vav so well as compared to all other Vav in Gujarat. A must see for Vav enthusiastics. Rush before it turns to a hot spot for tourists. Enjoy.

Jethabhai's Stepwell or Jethabhai ni Vav, is a stepwell in Isanpur area of Ahmedabad. It has beautiful architecture. It is not much known to tourist however can be a tourist attraction. Has a small garden with chikoo trees.No entry ticket.

Beautiful stepwell. Location in map is incorrect. Ask for Jethabhai stepwell and locals will point you to the correct direction. No maintenance at all

Very good place to spend quality time

A well maintained, neat and clean piece of architecture near 'Ishanpur Flyover'. LOCATION: It is Located near 'Ishanpur cross road'. One can easily noticed as it is located on the main road just when the Flyover end and also the BRTS is available till 'Ishanpur cross road' so no need to worry about transportation. TIMINGS: As per my experience place remains close on SUNDAY so do bit research before going. So heritage lovers from Ahmadabad add this place in your list the outsider can skip if they are on tight schedule but if time is not constrain, I will definitely recommended this place.
