"Helical Stepwell"
A 1,000-year-old helical stepwell with 8 entries is located in Walur Village, Selu Taluka, in the Parbhani District of Maharashtra, India.
This unique "Helical Stepwell" features spiral steps from 8 sides leading to the well shaft and 8 Devakoshta (niches) above the steps.
Recently, the locals of Walur Village undertook a massive cleanliness drive to restore the stepwell to its former glory. They removed the rubbish and debris that had accumulated over the years, revealing the intricate design and historical significance of this ancient structure.
Believed to be between 1,000 and 1,500 years old, this stepwell stands as a testament to the architectural ingenuity and cultural heritage of the region.
India’s old stepwells were not just giant holes for water. A 2024 peer-reviewed review says builders used shading, airflow, and evaporative cooling in their design, and many stepwells also served as summer shelters, which made them part water system and part ancient heat escape plan.
