My review at Google Maps :
This vav is like a hidden (and unknown) gem in Ahmedabad. I would rate it the best vav in A'bad but ...
- the entrance to the vav is in the mandir, and the gate is locked.
- the vav is dirty inside.
I was lucky to find a way to get to the bottom of the vav. Next to the mandir is a path, this leads to the rear of the vav. There are houses all around the vav. At the entrance of one of the houses there is are stairs (stone, spiral, see attached pic) leading down - right to the lowermost level of the vav. The stairs are damp and not too clean but believe me going down is totally worth it. There are really nice stone carvings and the actual vav (there are two !) is very different from other vavs.
Worth visiting. Don't miss if you are in A'bad.
Finding the stairs really gave me a thrill.
