HISTORY

Located in Wadhvan town of #Surendranagar district Madhavav or Madhav Vav is a stepwell consisting of six pavilion towers. But what makes them distinctive, is the pyramidal roofs on each of them with stone finials. There are two inscriptions in the stepwell. The Sanskrit inscription states that it was built by Madhav and Keshav, the Nagar Brahmin minister brothers in the court of Karandev II of Vaghela dynasty in 1294 (Vikram Samvat 1350) in honour of his parents. The second inscription, which is much eroded, tells about Lashamidevi (Lakshamidevi), daughter of Nagar Brahmin minister Sodhal; and Sindhu, son of Soma who were probably the parents of Madhav. The stepwell is now state protected monument but is not maintained well.
