It is beautiful... It should be maintained n cleaned properly by Archeological department to develop as tourist spot.. Its our heritage... As it depicts Water conservation ..... Reminds me of rani ki vaav n other step wells

Usually missed out on, religious, historical location lying quietly amongst the chaos of the city! Peaceful and serene. Parking might be a problem but a perfect spot for a quick break.

Sevasi vav , is a historical & religious place , both together, but being a historical place , its not being maintained , the authorized official should maintain it as a great place to visit once .The architectural structure is very well made & its very strong.A good spot for photography & visit with family.The water in step wall was dirty & garbage & small packets was there.

Amazing. Everyone must visit. This seems a real hard work. Its of 5 stored deep. Superbly managed. U can never ever get this kind of solid construction in todays world. Its a heritage. Plz go along with ur kids. Let them see instead of passing time in mobiles and understand that how beautiful India used to be. Let them also feel proud to be the Indian.Thanks and Regards 🙏.

A timeless marvel, built in 1533 Vikram Samvat, I.e. 533 years back, but in need of maintenance. Can be a major landmark and be developed for tourism, especially as it is very approachable.

One of the few step wells where you can go right to the bottom. May not have as many carvings as Rani-ki-vav or Adalaj-vav but still worth visiting. Very few visitors, nice. Pics attached.Tip : Easy and cheap way to get to Sevasi from Vadodara.City Bus 27A starts near Vadodara Station opp Sayajigunj Police Station and terminates at Sevasi.There is a enquiry counter under the badam tree. Ask for departure time.Bus stops very close to the vav.Travel time is approx 15 minutes, cost Rs 11.

A beautiful Stepwell on the outskirts of Baroda. It is used as a temple by the locals, and since it isnt popular yet, one can spend enough time here in solitude.The stepwell goes seven storeys below ground, the bottom of which is still accessible, and has marvelously detailed stonework.

Review №56

The step well is open for every one, but its getting in in shape day by day. Its very cool and humid down. You can see the bottom of the well. Water is not there inside. Locals have made puja / havan kind of arrangement inside which is spoiling the walls of the step well. Archeological survey of India doesnt support this 500 year old well. I mean they used to but now they dont. Locals have tried to repair the walls, but it need experts who restore old buildings. But I can say if go downstairs you will experience a different world. Its very pleasant down. Sunlight is excellent inside so no need to worry for insects or snakes. Steps are clean. Bottom is covered with dry trash like plastic bottles etc. The well is beside the main road but due to illegal construction of Shops on the road, the well is hidden.

Review №57

Worth seeing but regret to say that it is not looked after with care by the Gujarat government nor the Archaeology department of India. The structure will soon collapse if not looked after. Besides the local people have not kept the place clean. It needs maintenance. Its a structure Vadodra should be proud of. Architecture and technology of construction is worth seeing.

Review №59

As mentioned its a step well, a heritage site and an archaeology site. Good place to get symmetry photograph and peace. You can actually feel the cold vibes as you go down stairs. The entire structure is made up of stone and craving on it can be seen clearly. In the mid of the well there is also a temple. Surrounding villagers do care about this site, and make sure that traveller dont misbehave in this place mostly the teenagers.

It is also known as #Vidhyadhar Vav and its 500 year old. it is located around 8-10kms from vadodara city. also considered as the oldest and most beautiful vav of #Sultan Mehmud Begada’s time in 16th century.A stone masonry at the entrance has a name inscribed in Devnagri script. The gate has two tigers carved on the left and two elephants on the right. Stepwells were used to store rain water, and also became sources of legends.

This well is also called Vidyadhar ni Vav and is nice and clean place to visit. There is also a shiva temple inside the vav and hence one needs to take off shoes while going down the stairs. The well is mostly dry and seldom gets water at the bottom. However, the architecture is nice and majestic which is an attraction by itself. One can also go to the top and view the well vertically from the top.

Very nyc... Historical place.. usually vadodara is aware of this beautiful old archeologically important place. Water has dried up here therefore one can go to the depth of the well. There are no specific way to move across the well instead move along tge wall by narrow constructed walls.. therefore adventours too.

It is a good quiet place to sit and spend sometime. But the cleanliness is bit low so one cant stay there for long. Also water is not pure there as it is condemned over the period and not maintained. Still there is a small idol of lord Shiva where you can sit and meditate for a while

That place was too holy and represents our cultural architecture but the only problem is that government is not taking care about its cleaning and maintenance.Even the water is somehow transparent clear but people have thrown so much plastic waste in it, this is shameful 😕
