Mithi Vav

Mithi Vav is a stepwell located in Palanpur town of Banaskantha district, Gujarat, India.

[1][2] It is considered the only surviving monument of Parmara rule in the town.

Based on its architectural style, it is believed that it is constructed in late medieval period but the sculptures embedded in the walls may belong to earlier period.

The sculptures include that of Ganesha, Shiva, Apsaras, dancing figures, worshiping couples and floral or geometrical patterns.

A worn out inscription found on one sculpture embedded in left wall cannot be read clearly, but the year Samvat 1320 (1263 AD) can made out.
