Summary
| Description |
English: The entire platform of this five storied well is designed to rest on 16 pillars, eight on the corners, and two in front of each main entrance. In each of four corners of the platform, shrines with doors and balconies are constructed. This square platform marks the beginning of the stepped corridor which is fully surrounded by 3 feet high parapet wall. The step well is constructed in such a way that the direct sunlight does not touch reach either the flight of steps or the landing except during noon which makes the temperatures inside the step well up to six degrees cooler than outside.
