Adi Kadi Vav in Uparkot fort in Junagadh in Gujarat

Tuesday, October 10, 2017

Adi Kadi Vav is a stepwell located near to the Buddhist Caves and Navghan Kuvo in Uparkot fort premises in Junagadh. The Vav, is located at one end of the fort. It is near the fort wall. There is a seat there which offers a fantastic view of the surrounding hill ranges and houses below.

 The well was deep, with little water in it. But then standing there and looking down  gave us goose bumps. We were so scared that we might fall in the water. The wall near the Vav is not very high, so please be careful.

There are a series of steps that lead to the base of the Vav. Don't forget to look at the walls once you reach the bottom of the Vav. The pattern on the walls with the pigeons resting on it, the sunlight falling on the walls, make it appear even more beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from clicking photos of the walls.

As the Vav, is not in use, there is litter filled in it. I wouldn't mind paying a entrance fee to see it, at least the money could have been used in the upkeep of the Vav.

We then headed to see the Navghan Kuvo located a couple of meters away.
