A panoramic view of the Queen's Stepwell (Ranki Vav) in Patan, 11th century.
Its colossal composition gives a breathtaking impact.
The complecated wide flight of steps descends from the farthest side
to the well-shaft in the foreground, accompanied with small staircases on both sides.
The upper parts of post-and-beam frames of the pavilions have been lost.
