Madha Vav - The Step Well - Historical landmark in Surendranagar - Surendranagar, India

Google Maps is totally incorrect in small towns. It misleads you so asking locals is better. Wadhvan is a place where there's almost no proper dining facilities except at Swaminarayan Mandir. Madha Vav is formidable stepwell with most of its lower storeyes submerged in water. It was built in late 13th century. Wadhvan is a walled city with very narrow streets so cars can hardly pass.

Visited Mar 2022. I don't want to repeat what others have already written. There are turtles in the water. I had to sit without moving for more than half an hour until one of them came and sat on the lowermost step (no one else was around). I requested the owner of one of the houses at the rear of the vav to allow me into their 'backyard' so that I could see the rear of the vav. Normally it's not possible to see or get to the rear because the houses are so close to the vav. Worth a visit. See pics. Most prob you'll have the place to yourself. I must mention that of all the places I've been to in Gujarat, the people of Wadhwan were the most friendly and helpful.

A great vav built in the history located in vohrawad in wadhwan. There is an story associated with this vaav of an couple who sacrificed their life in the well for water to come up through the vaav. It is an historical places. Needs to be preserved well.

This is a heritage site, but not properly maintained . hope the officials keep this historical site clean and appropriate for tourists

The place is cool and cosy with nice strong architecture considering how old this monument is. I think the government should do something to improve it's condition as far as tourism is concerned.

Madha vav is a amazing places and this is old please

No maintenance. No Cleanse. Cultural heritage preservation has been forgotten by Local public and government
