Described by James Burgess as ‘one of the most modern examples of the regular vav’, Jethabhai ni Vav was built by Jethabhai Jivanlal Mujli, around the 1860s, near Isanpur, Ahmedabad. The materials used in the construction were reused from neglected buildings – like the rauza (tomb) belonging to a masjid known as that to be of Malik Alam. Similarly, Jethabhai bought from the late Qazi Hasan-ud-din, the Nenpurvada masjid at Rajapur-Hirpur together, along with its accompanying rauza. This is perhaps why some of the ornamental details of the stepwell are older than the stepwell itself. The vav is 210 feet in length, 21 to 22 feet wide, and follows a common plan (one entrance, straight stepped corridor that leads to the water level of the well). The vav is 200 feet deep. Jethabhai’s descendants visit the vav every year on Dev Diwali to light diyas as a sign of respect.
