Sevasi Stepwell
સેવાસી વાવ
A 16th-century stepwell in Sevasi village, about 8 km west of the city, with multi-tiered stone colonnades stepping down and finely carved details; few visitors.
Sevasi Stepwell lies in Sevasi village about 8 km west of Vadodara. Built in the early 16th century, it is a typical Gujarati 'vav' stepwell: a long stone stairway descends level by level, flanked and overhung by multi-tiered stone colonnades, with columns and walls carved with flowers, geometric patterns and niches. It is smaller than the Adalaj Stepwell near Ahmedabad, but it is well preserved, sees few visitors and is quiet.
Admission is free. You can reach it by taxi, and it suits anyone interested in Gujarat's stepwell architecture.
