Historical water architecture concept in India
Published on by Ashutosh Joshi, Founder at Water Parliament in Social
For centuries, stepwells—which incorporated a cylinder well that extended down to the water table—provided water for drinking, washing, bathing, and the irrigation of crops.
They also served as cool sanctuaries for caravans, pilgrims, and other travelers during the heat of day or overnight. Commissioned by royal, wealthy, or powerful patrons, they were complex engineering feats and stunning examples of Hindu achitecture.

सीढ़ियों से उतरना आसान था, जहाँ तक सम्भव हुआ गए। करीब-करीब सत्तरेक तो उतरे ही, उसके आगे गाद-मिट्टी-घास। दोनों तरफ़ सीढियाँ थी तो भी, किसी अनहोनी को टालने खातिर, ऊपर दीवार से सटी पगडण्डी से मुख्य, कुवें के पास तिबारे को देखा, निर्माण-पत्थर-चूने की मजबूत आधार को देखने भर से समझा जा सकता हैं। वापसी में अग्रभाग की छत पर गए तो सारा नज़ारा, तालाब का क्षेत्र और बाबड़ी की सुन्दरता और साफ-साफ हो चलीं।
आगे जाना, चलना नियति है, कुछ परिकल्पनाएं मन में थी, विश्वास भी की शायद आगे आएंगे तो इसमें सब सत्यम्-शिवम्-सुन्दरम् ही नज़र आएगा।

@AshutoshJoshi ji That photo you shared for the bavdi had dark green color of water, which is a sign of eutrophication. If you want all these bavdi's in Rajasthan could be restored and reinstated with natural spring Water quality through ecological rejuvenation process. for details, you can simply log on to www.cownomics.in.
