Dada Harir ki vav is one of the many ancient steps wells built in Gujarat. The stepwell was built around 1500 during the rule of Mahmud Begada. The stepwell and a mosque behind the well was built by Dahi Harir. The well lies at the ground level and has five levels. The walls leading to the bottom has many intricate carvings. Many Sanskrit and Arabic inscriptions can be found on the walls. Like other stepwells this is one of the fine example showcasing the Gujarati designs. The beautifully decorated pillars and the walls shows the amount of attention giving in building the well. The octagonal shaped well had provided the traveler of its time place to rest during their journey and water for the local people around.
The monument is located in old Ahmedabad. Easiest was to reach the place is to hire auto rickshaw. Unfortunately the place doesn't look to attract many visitors. There were hardly any tourist when we visited.

Few pics from the place.













The step wells are very unique and fascinating structures that has to be visited.
