It is a historic stepwell.Located near Brahmaji temple.This stepwell is JAYA type.It is built around 14-15 century.Main purpose of this place is to conserve water and meet the need of water through storage.It is open to all visitor. But condition of our heritage is very bad. It was not maintained properly. The well is filled with plastics,paper and waste. Some part of it need renovation and rejuvenation.

This step well, situated opposite the Brahma temple, known as Brahma Vav. It is built with grey granite stone. It is constructed in east-west direction; the entrance is in the east and the well is in the west. It is 38.10 metres long; 30 metres of stepped corridor and the well of 8.10 metre diameter. The step well becomes narrower as one goes downwards and to the well. It has four kuta (pavilion-towers) where fourth is attached to the well. The breadth is 8.50 metres (including parapet wall) and 6.60 metres (without parapet wall) at the entrance which decreases to 5.4 metres in second kuta and 3.90 metres in the third kuta. It had row of miniature shrines as an ornamentation in the wall of shaft of the step well which suggests it was built in 14th century. There is no inscription in the step well to ascertain its age. They resemble temple spires and has niches. It has 27 niches without any idols now. It is now in despair due to lack of maintenance. There are some paliya (hero stone) dedicated to Dhabi gatekeepers of the village who were died fighting Maharaja Shivsinhji of Idar around Samvat 1800. The inscriptions on them are worn out.
