This Stepwell was buried for centuries and suffered damage in the past due to the negligence and flood in the river Saraswati. Till 1960's nobody knew that there existed the Most Ornate and Highly Sculptured Vav at this time.ASI started its excavations there in 1958.

However, before it was finished, he entered into a war with Muslim King Mehmud Begada.
And then it was finished by the Queen Rudabai. It is unique as it is the only Stepwell with three sets of entrance stairs. They all meet on the first level down at a large square platform.
