Rani-ki-Vav (the Queen’s Stepwell) at Patan, Gujarat Rani-ki-Vav, on the banks of the Saraswati River, was initially built as a memorial to a king in the 11th century AD. Stepwells are a distinctive form of subterranean water resource and storage systems on the Indian subcontinent, and have been constructed since the 3rd millennium BC. They evolved over time from what was basically a pit in sandy soil towards elaborate multi-storey works of art and architecture. Rani-ki-Vav was built at the height of craftsmens’ ability in stepwell construction and the Maru-Gurjara architectural style, reflecting mastery of this complex technique and great beauty of detail and proportions. Designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water, it is divided into seven levels of stairs with sculptural panels of high artistic quality; more than 500 principle sculptures and over a thousand minor ones combine religious, mythological and secular imagery, often referencing literary works. The fourth level is the deepest and leads into a rectangular tank 9.5 m by 9.4 m, at a depth of 23 m #ranikivav #patan #gujarat #gujarattourism #unescoworldheritage #unesco #worldheritagesite #stepwell #india #Incredibleindia #indiatour #indiatravel #indiagram #indiaclicks #indiatourism #TripAdvisor #_soi  #travelgram #natgeotravel #Thrillophilia #agodalens #airbnb #tripoto #bbc_travel #RGphoto #expedia #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanetindia #canon (at Rani Ki Vaav)

Kids in Zanskar Valley ,India Zanskar is part of the Kargil district in India’s northernmost state Jammu and Kashmir. Kargil is inaccessible by road through winter because of heavy snowing on the treacherous mountain passes that connect Kargil to the rest of India. Padum, the headquarters of Zanskar valley is further 250 km away from Kargil. Even in a SUV, these 250 km take a good 8 hours to traverse (in the good weather of the summer months). A map of Zanskar valley has specific mentions of “end of the road”. Villages beyond this point can only be trekked to by foot (in the summer, completely isolated in the winter). #zanskar #kargil_zanskar #kashmir #jammuandkashmir #kashmirtourism #lehladakh #kargil #padum #himalayas #india #Incredibleindia #indiatour #indiatravel #indiagram #indiaclicks #indiatourism #TripAdvisor #_soi  #travelgram #natgeotravel #Thrillophilia #agodalens #airbnb #tripoto #bbc_travel #RGphoto #expedia #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanetindia #canon (at Zanskar)
