Indian Architecture Art Print

Stepwells of Rajasthan, The Chand Baori Illustrated Art Print of India

The Stepwells of India. An architectural wonder.

An entire category of architecture slipping off history’s grid are India’s incomparable stepwells. In my past life I was lucky to be working on a tourism brand in India, which led me to research and visit some really interesting historic and architecturally important sites in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Chand Baori is made up of 3,500 narrow steps over 13 storeys making it one of the deepest and largest stepwells in India. It's one of the oldest and most visually spectacular step well in India.

A necessity in a predominantly bone dry land, to guarantee a year-round water-supply for drinking, bathing, irrigation and washing, in the arid states of Gujarat (where they’re called vavs) and Rajasthan (where they’re baoli or baori). Over the centuries, stepwell construction evolved and by the 11th century they were astoundingly complex feats of engineering, architecture, and art.

This is an abstract print inspired by the stark geometry and symmetry of the stepwell.
