Ranki Vav
RANKI VAV
A jewel of architecture in Patan is about 150kms fromAhmedabad. There are hotels in town. A place nearest to Patan is Siddhpur at about 50kms. Siddhpur is a historical place, located in north Gujarat on the banks of Saraswati River, considered to be the branch of lost Saraswati River.
Ranki Vav, also known as Rani-Ki-Vav, the step-well at Patan in Gujarat, was constructed by Queen Udyamati in the 11th century AD. The sculptural art of Ranki Vav is of deep understanding and divine glory. The sculptures explain all aspects of life and the eternal wisdom of divinity is shared with the viewers. A casual look at these sculptures may indicate that the figures of apsaras are dancing figures. But a detailed examination and analysis convey a deeper philosophical message. It is a sincere attempt to relate physical health to spiritual well-being.Ranki Vav is located at 140km from Ahmedabad Airport. Ahmedabad hotels provide comfortable staying options. Other Places of attractions include Saraswati River.
