Ranki vav OR Rani ni vav

Ranki Vav is located in Patan city of Kutch district of Gujarat state. Ranki Vav is known as the Vav of the second queen. Later the flood water of Saraswati river came in this Vav. Ranki Vav was hidden for about 700 years.





 His carvings were later found in their original form during a search by Indian archaeologists. Ranki Vav was produced in Marut and Gurjar Shelley. 





Rani's Vav is one of the most beautiful Vavs in India. Rani Vav is not only a place of water storage and reunion, but also has spiritual significance. The starting steps lead through several winding columns to deep wells. There are 7 floors here. In these 7 floors there are more than 800 decorated sculptures of gods and goddesses. It contains 10 incarnations of the main Lord Vishnu from the Buddhist literature. These incarnations are accompanied by idols of monks, Brahmins and various nymphs. Ranki Vav's World Heritage has been included in 2014. Rani Vav is spread over about 6 acres of land.
