Summary
[edit]DescriptionPancham Mehta Vav 1.jpg |
English: Situated just outside the historic fortified city of Vadnagar (Gujarat) is the Pancham Mehta's Vav. The exact date of its construction is unknown but sources date it back to either 16th or mid-18th century CE. The fact that it was constructed outside the fortified town suggests that it was built for public welfare while the name suggests that it may have been commissioned by a local leader as the town was never under a direct administration from a king. It is a ‘Nanda’ style 7 storied sub-terranean structure with a single flight of steps leading to the lower levels. Unlike the other Vavs in the vicinity this Vav has double shafts located at the eastern end and a domed pavilion at the western end leading to the steps. The Vav has a system of small channels emerging from the southern end which terminate in a small kund probably to be used by cattle or horses of travelling caravans. |
