Had the opportunity of visiting Rani ki Vav, Patan (Pic 1) & Surya Mandir at Modhera (Pic 2), Gujarat. Stepping inside these campuses sends a chill down your spine. The sheer audacity of the skill & vision of those who built these structures 1000 years ago is incomprehensible.
Rani ki Vav is built 4 stories below the ground, as an inverted temple. It honors water, & is a water harvesting structure. Built about 1000 yrs ago, it represents the zenith of sustainable dev policy, maru-gurjara architecture, exquisite sculpture, devotion & spirituality.
