Stepwell

A stepwell is a specific type of water reservoir, primarily found in India, designed to store water and provide access to it during dry periods. These structures feature a series of steps or stairs leading down to the water level, allowing people to descend safely to fetch water. Stepwells were ingeniously engineered to harvest rainwater and typically showcase intricate carvings and architectural designs. They serve not only a practical purpose but also have cultural and historical significance, reflecting the local community's relationship with water and their environment.
