One of the convoluted monuments at Ahmedabad, Dada Hari Vav is
a stepped wall built during the reign of Mehmud Begda in 1501. This
well is situated behind the tomb of Dada Hari.
This magnificent masterpiece was constructed to provide a cool
resting place and water to the travellers. It is one of the finest
example of rich Gujarati Architecture. The well has a flight of
steps leading down to lower platform at a small octagonal shape
well. Situated entirely underground, dust and heat does not affect
the temperature inside.
The lower parts remain cool even during the hottest days in
Ahmedabad. The well has been splendidly carved in typical Gujarati
designs. The pillars, walls and steps leading to different levels
has been beautifully placed. A perfect example of fine stone work of
Gujarat, this well attracts throngs.
The visiting hours are from 09:00 am to 05:00 pm. One visit to the
well takes 30 min.
