Jethabhai's Stepwell

Also called Jethabhai ni Vav, Jethabhai's Stepwell is in the Isanpur area of Ahmedabad, near Shah Alam, and is one of the city's heritage stepwells. It was built around the 1860s by Jethabhai Jivanlal Nagjibhai, and James Burgess, writing in 1905, called it perhaps one of the most modern regular stepwells. To get building material, Jethabhai bought and pulled down the rauza of the Malik Alam mosque and the Nenpurvada mosque at Rajapur-Hirpur, and one of the mosque mihrabs was used in the well's ornament.

The stepwell is 64 m long and about 6.5 m wide, with a dome on twelve pillars over the entrance at the west end and the usual descent from gallery to gallery. It has four pavilions, the entrance one canopied. The Archaeological Survey of India restored it in 2017–2018.
