Stepwells and a Sun Temple
April 24, 2025 · 10 min

This episode takes you to a 11th century temple at Modhera  in Gujarat, which is designed to get lit-up by the first rays of the sun on the summer solstice every year. Our next destination will be Raani ki vaav, a world heritage site and the grandest step-well in Gujarat built by a Queen in the memory of her husband. It is sheer poetry in stone. More interestingly the world of women and water converged at the step wells in medieval times. This immersive experience will end at Patan with a glance into weaving of the magical Patola silk sarees
