According to the legends, it is believed this spectacular architecture was built in the memory of Bhima I (r.c. 1022-1064) of Solanki dynasty by his widowed queen, Udayamati. You can get a reference to Udayamati building the monument in Jain Monk Merunga Suri\u2019s work \u2013 Prabandha Chintamani. The Rani ki Vav was later flooded by the near Saraswati River and silted over until the late 1980s. One of the interesting things of this structure after being getting flooded was that the carvings were found in untouched condition after being excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India. Built in the complex of Maru-Gujara architectural style, Rani ki Vav has an inverted temple and seven levels of stairs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48c0fe0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"48c0fe0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sculptures of Rani ki Vav<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<img class=\"e-image-base \" \n\t\t\t\t\tdata-interaction-id=\"c5e8b09\" \n\t\t \n\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"19254\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rani-ki-vav_sculptures.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"1024\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"682\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rani-ki-vav_sculptures.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rani-ki-vav_sculptures-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rani-ki-vav_sculptures-768x512.jpg 768w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Sculptures of Rani ki Vav\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f1ea87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f1ea87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rani ki Vav measures around 64 m long, 20 m wide &amp; 27 m deep. Laid out in the east-west direction, the entrance faces the east, and the well faces the west. The step well is constructed using bricks that are cut and shaped beautifully. As far as interiors of the walls are concerned, the walls bordering the staircase are beautifully decorated with proportioned statues. The steps of this well begin at the ground level that further leads you down through seven-pillared pavilions to get to the deep well below. As you go further down, you get to witness more than 800 elaborate sculptures among seven galleries. These are majorly dedicated to Lord Vishnu, including Vishnu (Dasha avatars) as Varaha and Kalki, Bhairava, Surya, Kubera, Ganesha, Astadikpalas, Lakshmi-Narayan, and Vishvarupa-Vishnu. The stones and silt block lowermost part of the well. Not many know, but it was earlier used as an escape route to neighbouring villages. The avatars are further accompanied by Apsaras (celestial dancers), Brahmins and Sadhus. You come to a carving of Sheshashayi-Vishnu at water level, in which Vishnu is seen reclining on the thousand-hooded serpent, Shesha. It is believed; here he rests in the infinity between ages.<\/p><p>This marvellous structure stands testimony to the expertise of the Solanki sculptors that illustrates beauty, fineness, rhythm, and different moods in the stone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<img class=\"e-image-base \" \n\t\t\t\t\tdata-interaction-id=\"1eada11\" \n\t\t \n\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"19255\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gujarat_packages_sotc.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"850\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"70\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gujarat_packages_sotc.webp 850w, https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gujarat_packages_sotc-300x25.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sotc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gujarat_packages_sotc-768x63.webp 768w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9060455 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9060455\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stamp<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0ed699 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0ed699\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Earlier on July 19 2018, Reserve Bank of India announced the new Rs 100 note will feature Rani ki Vav on the rear side.
