Another hidden gem in Vadodara. Its situated in Sevasi gaav. It is beautifully maintained by the localities. Its clean and one won't find much crowd here. Must visit.

A beautiful piece of heritage in the Sevasi (aka Gotri-Sevasi) area of Vadodara. We used to go here from school picnic and now as an adult, the place seem to be amazing to revisit those memories. The step well is maintained decently and now some of the villagers have built a small temple in between - not so sure if it was there from day one or not. A decent place if you want to show your kids how people of past had such a vast knowledge and planning of water management!

It’s an old structure with beautiful carving. It is a deep well which is dry now. Atmosphere inside is very soothing. Might find some bats.

This is a very old step well made and used by nearby villages. The place is now abandoned with the exception of a shiva temple on the middle level, the well is completely empty. There is no entry charges and is open on all days at all times

This is a very old step well made and used by nearby villages. Poorly maintained by heritage department. Outside area dirty and busy traffic.The place is now abandoned with the exception of a shiva temple on the middle level, the well is completely empty. There is no entry charges and is open on all days at all times. Must visit. We'll connected for any transportation. Free entry

VADODARA: Over five centuries ago, this stepwell was a lifeline for residents of Sevasi and surrounding villages. Sevasi vaav built in the memory of spiritual leader Vidhyadhar was an architectural marvel and quite popular among the locals. But, this 542-year-old stepwell located right at the entrance of Sevasi village is in shambles and completely neglected now.

Historical place. Can be a tourist attraction but not maintained accept keeping a watchman to open the lock at 8:am

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.

One of the best places in terms of architecture and construction of step well. Well maintained place. It's simply wonderful I can't imagine how beautifully the step well has been decorated. Marvelous carving everywhere on the wall, ceiling and pillars. One of the best things is you don't need to buy tickets to visit this place!

Very well built, neat and clean. Very big old Vaav. Near to vadodara Gotri You can visit in group. Its on sevasi village on main road near banyan tree only.

It was a great experience. Amazed to see almost seven storied stepwell. Tha area was reasonably clean. A good spot for photo shoots. Worth a visit. And the place is not too far from Vadodara city. Highly recommended for those interested in historic places.

This monument is a step well, around 550 years old, amazing design and architecture. Not so well maintained. But it's part of our history and we should visit this place once. It has small temples of goddesses as well

Sevasi step well is a very popular historical place. Government must develop this place like the Adalaj step well.

Nice place for photography Things to be taken care is -There is a temple in between stairs so respect that as people around that place have a high attachment for that place. -Dont try to behave like a Spidermen , Don't try to walk on slide of the wall. It's bit risky. - For photography early morning time will be fine as it's bit hot here. - #NoProper maintenance at this place by VMC - ab sab kuch review Mai like dunga to jaoge nai... Is liye jao n enjoy Karo..

Well design and awsome structure of ancient bharat. Nowadays this place known as mata ji no mandir. Which is located in sevasi gaam. I really like this place

Its a historical place almost 500 yrs old step well with 7 levels. Its construction is beautiful. But not maintained well, it stinks on the lower levels Can get good photos of its architecture. But small place cannot spend more than 1 hrs max here. People do walk on frames but i won't recommend as its too risky.

A hidden ge of our own Vadodara. Very few people know about this. Go visit this and keep our legacy alive. No tickets as yet.

Ancient history ..... Step well is maintain and clean... Sevasi vav... Nowadays people come visit and even use as photoshoot place due to infrastructure and historical building !! ...

The devasi Vav (well) is located in Gotri area, which is full of beautiful Construction that give a wonderful experience, but there is no proper supervision from the government and who built it is a mystery. I visited and told them what was right.

Very beautiful place but you won't find peace at all. Because majority public came for only photoshoot and makes place annoying.

The step well is open for every one, but it's getting in in shape day by day. It's 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 doesn't support this 500 year old well. I mean they used to but now they don't. 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. It's 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.

Visited this placed when returning to home and this places come after decathlon if u are coming to vadodara. Place is damn good with good vibes a stepwell which was built before decades. Click pics temple and mantain decent

Best Hindu place secasi vav

Its an ancient place, but not so big. Those who gets bored just go for a photoshoot over here. Exactly located on Sevasi Bus stop. Very near to Decathlon

Great historical step well if you have time then go and watch out .

It's a osm place.... Me and my frd family lot's of enjoy....

Great step well, unfortunately it is falling into disrepair, hopefully it will get some government support to keep these structures for future generations

Yeah nice place to visit but you won’t get a quality food around , only place around no other near around within walking distance

Nice place. May have been major tourist attraction if maintained property. It has a massive structure leading downwards to a very deep well. This has hundreds of stairs leading to the well from ground level. It may have been used as a water resource for large number of people at that time.

It is one of the most beautiful, yet quite neglected step-wells located in Sevasi area of Vadodara. This step-well is said to be made by Raja Haridas in memory of the revered spiritual leader Shri Vidyadhar in the year 1543, hence the name Vidyadhar ni Vav. There are seven stories in this step well, which one can climb down to reach the well water at the bottom. The water is cold and is protected from the heat of the region by the stone structure. There is also a deity kept in the wall which many come to worship before reaching the well. It's a must visit for people interested in history, heritage and architecture.

A place to visit. It's a place which remind us of our heritage and culture. A real beauty of our old architects and engineers. Although it's not maintained but still it looks beautiful 🥰🥰

Most underrated place in Vadodara Peaceful ⭐ Do visit but don't litter anywhere And I would say if you know this place keep it as your happy place. I went there in mornings and it was mesmerizing and connected to nature in the heart of the city

This is a great place for history and architecture lovers. It's in good shape. It was built in samvat 1543.

Can't imagine this stepwell is more than 500 years old, built by mohmad begda. Super archeological and heritage place, there is a temple inside it, and it's almost 7 floor, have seen few stepwell with water and always wondered what is like to be inside the last step and there was no water when we went there so we got a chance to go till end, one thing off the plate now. One thing is there is no development around it or nothing, which indicates there is a place like this. Bonus, you can take amazing photos there. The best time to visit early morning or evening.

It is a good place to visit. My kids also enjoyed this place. They learnt how it looks. This place is just beside the main road and you can enter the calm construction and enjoy its beauty from inside. It is well maintained. Good place for photo shoots. There is a small temple inside.

Vidyadhar (Vidhyadhar) Vaav is 5 minutes from Brand Factory on Gotri-Sevasi road. This will be on your left and u may miss it completely if not vigil. The visit can be completed in 15 minutes or can take half a day - if u are a archeology buff.

Very good place

Not that awesome but if you are in vadodra could me visited once..

Awesome

It's a very nice place! But it was risky......

Great and beautiful place

Awesome place it's old heritage government have to come in front to save and advertise this type of all places . One should completly enjoy to have a visit here

This exotic historic place hidden from view by the shops infront of the place. 8t is not very well kept except for a notice board starting it as a archiological heritage. Presently it does not have water in it and the place is used for worship by the locals. It is said there are many folklores associated to this well.

Awsome

Nice place

Very underestimated structure. Its very beautiful and one can visit easily

Best place for vintage photography and shoots..

Sevasi Stepwell in Vadodara is a 500-year-old stepwell and a beautiful historical site. However, the property needs someone to take care of it. It is located just outside the city limits and can be easily found by following Google directions.

It is the preserved heritage, by the priest and the locals, the people are so sweet & humble in behavior here, its a must visit place

Nice step well. Good place to click pictures also.

Sevasi vav is a very nice place

Beautiful place but crowded with stalls

Beautiful place to visit. Little dirty and unmaintained but worth visiting

nice places

Nice place to see.. one of the historical place of Baroda...

Nice historical place showing classic example of vintage architecture

Nice place to visit

Excellent heritage site VIDYADHAR VAV (SEVASI STEPWELL) According to an inscription on one of its beams, the Vidyadhar Vav of Sewasi was built by Sultan Mahmud Begda of the Gujarat Sultanate, in Samvat 1549, to venerate Vidyadhar, a spiritual saint from the from the nearby village of Sevasi. The Vav (stepwell) is a combination of brick and stone masonry, oriented east-west and is ornamented well with motifs and reliefs of flowers and animals alike.

One of the greatest place for finding peace ✌️

Okayish Place. upkeep not done by Govt. Could have been better

Its such a huge learning piece from our past- but in such a sad state. Littered. Abandoned and ignored by the municipal corporations and archeological dept. Needs cleaning and maintenance.

Awesome Hidden Place

A historical place. Need proper caretaker to look over

Amazing to see such creation approx 532 year old. Archaeological Survey of India must preserve it & youth must come forward to clean it & maintain it.

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.

Awesome

Very good architect by our and anscistors. Must visit this place.

Its very awsome place

Really worth to visit

Amezing and super architecture. It's 500 years old

Daman jetty is the best place of tourisms like by nature and sunset 🌇 are so cool

3 stars just for the place well made and 0 points to maintenance. How difficult is to save our heritage. Let's just not write but mention that locals would have made it possible with lil contribution and they would have maintained it and would have charged from visitors as well. It's in such a bad shape that you can't go down and see the well. It was smelling but locals were performing their havan and puja. How you can worship God by keeping him in such a place. Sad! The architecture is heartbreaking. We don't see such architecture now.

Village Public is Horrible and not clean place

Very nice place it takes only 15 min to see complete step well. pic are amazing here

Best place for photography

It's was absolutely breathtaking

Nice place to visit and observe the greatness of the architect of the past

The monument could have been preserved properly but even though a good place to sit and relax..

500 years old Architectural marvel. One has visit this place

A very nice place to witness our historical heritage.

Excellent Gaikwadi ancient Stepwell of Vadodara

Sevasi Vav (Vidhyadhar Vav) : Situated in the outskirts of the city, on the way to Sindhrot is the 500-year-old Sevasi Vav. Considered as the oldest and most beautiful vav of Sultan Mehmud Begada's time. According to a Devnagari inscription on one of its beam, it was built around 1496 (Vikram Samvat 1549).

Neat and clean ancient monument.

Excellent stone art work and rich.

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

The first time a visited a vav, a well. This is beautiful but not maintained at all. If you have seen other vav before then this could be skipped. I know it is a regular facet for Gujratis but locals should do something to preserve their heritage.

Fantastic place. Needs restoration and proper care from the government. If done then it can become a famous tourist spot and the local residents of the village can have a good earning from a number of people

Good

A magnificent structure covered in flith!

This beautiful historical structure is around 500 years old (Built in 1496) and is a really beautiful to visit. Although it is not really maintained by anyone and it needs no special tickets/charges to visit this place. It has a little well ( filled with dirty water looking to no maintenance factor🤦🏻‍♀️). I loved the architecture of this place it is really mesmerising and is very much close to Vadodara (literally on the way to Sindhrot). The gate is decorated with motif of animals like tiger and elephants. It is said about this place that young girls covered in gold were sacrificed at this stepwell for prosperity! Generally I’ve seen youngsters coming here for photography and shoots (since it’s really free for everyone!). Nice place to spend and hour or so. Do visit during early mornings or during sunset 🌇 for a beautiful vibe. Well I really liked this place.

This vav histry is around 600 year old & that vav structure is very amazing it's a great vav it's histrorical pls

Awesome historical place
