The Ramkund is a stepwell in Bhuj, Gujarat. Originally a pre-14th century site, the site was rebuilt by Jadeja rulers in the 18th-century as a public water infrastructure, after the collapse of the Mughal empire. It has a square plan and is about 56 feet on one side.
The Ramkund stepwell is relatively simpler than other stepwells found in Gujarat. Nevertheless, the Ramkund at Bhuj includes numerous Hindu reliefs. Of these, the Dasavatara – ten incarnations of Vishnu are of particular note. It is the sculpture of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman here that gives this site its name.
The stepwell has a symmetric architecture. Nearby is the Ram Dhun Temple. This site should not be confused with the Ramkunds found elsewhere in India, such as in Maharashtra.
