I first saw this marvelous piece of architecture on Praveen Mohan's channel and now here it is on National Geographic. This would definitely bring a lot of recognition to ancient Indian architecture
Credit goes to praveen mohan
There were older videos that I saw and that's why I can put it in writing here. But probably those videos didn't get as much viewership mostly coz they were crude.
Same here .
its picture is in the new 100 rs note too
Me too watched on Praveen mohan
Praveen Mohan sir is truly a gem
Who covered many temples and shrines..which is Known as for now
Yes
He changed the perspective of seeing temples
Praveen Mohan is the one who found out it first
It was lost and Praveen mohan discovered it
Praveen Mohan revealed the hidden truth of this place
I don’t understand how people ignore such architectural masterpieces for tourism and choose empty places like Goa for outings. Just look at these carvings. It’s a marvel made by hand. We should be proud of our heritage and preserve it❤
Because they are not advertised and they are far away from main cities.
Coz people come to Goa for booze and party and 85% of Indians think it's a party place. There are many temples and churches in Goa not as ancient as these but still very much present. All the states have their own temples, rituals and techniques for various things. People choose to ignore it and follow the herd, now with the influencer and insta shit people just do things for grams.
In my opinion it's a good thing that such architecture marvels are underrated.. So that only those who truly admire and understand these intricacies will visit and enjoy.. Rather than hoards of crowd of tourist visiting jst for social media and clicking pictures.. Some even vandalise monuments
Check out halebidu and belur temples in karnataka...the carvings are so life like
Problem is... You are still considering Marvell for explaining such great art work...
Seeing Rani Ki Vav was absolutely one of the high points of my life. I was speechless. I felt the same at the Kailash temple in Ellora. Even the Tajmahal did not take my breath away like this. And I am saying this after seeing the mind blowing monuments and temples of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
I have seen a step well near ahemadabad.. Adlaz..Its also beautiful . There is also a beautiful neglected stepwell in a town called udi in gadag dis karnataka. An u tube channel has covered this stepwell in Sudi dist gadag. karnataka....
You are so lucky to have seen so many of these places! I can only dream of visiting them, I am just terrified of flying in an airplane across the world and back 😢 Don’t compare or take any of your experiences for granted! Believe me there are people who only dream of seeing this
Fun fact: Rani ki Vav is also printed at the back of our 100Rs. currency..
I first came across this phenomenal structure in Travel XP and it took my breath away...How Indians created such marvels of architecture and how did we lose this skill never fails to make me wonder!!
Yes, I just found it on New ₹100 notes, It's printed as well as the name of the temple is specifically mentioned in Hindi and English as "Rani ki vav"!
wow, I didn't know that :0
Indian is not only famous for Tajmahal..... We have these kind of architecture & engineering in every temple also thought of smartness & thinking way ahead of our ancestors shows how rich our culture was...... Unfortunately some of them only exist......
Because it was not allowed to develop for close to 1000 yrs unlike in EU.
ur name doesn't say that you are sikh
ur are a bengali or else this combination of ur name is only present in bengal
ps: Bengal was also divided bro
आपको किसने कहा कि भारत सिर्फ "ताज महल" के लिए ही जाना जाता हे ? आप अपने मन से ही बोल रहे हो कुछ भी, भारत बहुत सारी संस्कृति और विभिन्न कला कृति बड़े बड़े महलों और मंदिरों और विविध चीजों और विविध धर्मो के लिए जाना जाता है,
में आपको इस लिए बोल रहा हु क्युकी अपने जिस तरीके के से लिखा हे उसमे साफ साफ दिख रहा है की आप कट्टर हिंदू वादी सोच के हो, आपको मुस्लिम लोगो से प्रॉब्लम है, यह पर बात रानी की वाव की हो रही है उधर अपने सीधा ताजमहल की बात खोल दी, भाई क्यू हर जगह ऐसी राजनीति वाली बाते सुरू कर देते हो,
अगर ताजमहल बहुत प्रसिद्ध हे तो अच्छी बात हैं ना अपने भारत के लिए, भले मुगलों ने बनाया लेकिन बना तो भारत में हे, आप जैसे लोगो कही पर भी राजनीति कर सकते हो,

But never you get the detailed and out of mainstream mind opening information that Praveen provides.....now NG in jumping on the bandwagon!!!!
#PraveenMohan deciphered it first. He has amazing mind and the right approach to explore history and these monuments.
True, #PraveenMohan is best
Right approach? No. Calling Janeu a wire and birth of Lord Vishnu as UFO is from nowhere is right approach.
@@Vor567tez same thing ancient aliens will say but they won't be criticised
@@gangasagarransarje5873 Have you ever looked for it? There r so many debunked videos.
Let me give u an eg - Versebyverse Bt has 3 hr long video called Ancient Aliens Debunked.
Search for "Graham Hancock Debunked" , "tiktok archeology debunked", or use the name of theories like " "Baghdad Battery"/ " Pyramids ancient aliens debunked".
Ancient Aliens is heavily critised by actual Archeologists and is well known as conspiracy theories show that doesn't do anything other than make racist assumption that humans weren't capable of anything and it's made by aliens.
@@gangasagarransarje5873 Ancient aliens are dead memes at this point. No person with working brain watch them for knowledge. Were you living under rock or what?
Praveen Mohan's work has reached NAT Geo too....Nat Geo should do a collab with Praveen Mohan
Praveen mohan had first claimed it to be an upside down temple.
Saw this way before on #PraveenMohan Sir's channel...no one can explain and explore this temple better than him..his perspective and understanding is on a different level
Hyper nationalist Praveen?
@@poonamkhatri3914 Praveen Mohan, the TH-camr who creates content on unexplored hindu temples
@@poonamkhatri3914 What's wrong with being a nationalist.
Shoutout to Praveen Mohan Ji, who did an amazing video regarding rani ki vav. He is doing more job than many paid archeologists did for last 60 years.
Thanks to those Archeologists the Vav is still in it's shape. The Vav in 2014 become the part of the list of UNESCO world heritage site. It is also on the back side of the 100 rp note.
Also Epic channel and Dordarshan has both covered on this.
Just bcs you weren't aware doesn't mean things were not happening.

And do your parents worship temples?

Praveen Mohan who?? That conspiracy theorist??
@@Stoiccynic224 have you seen his video on Rani ki vav?
So sad some secularist believe in nat Geo,bbc,even if something is written in Bible they don't dare to comment on that but,I agree Praveen ji is not always correct but brings new theories, proof. Advice for those who don't even consider listening to him pray to so called mother Teresa and watch dhruv he will nourish,feed you 😂

This is a Praveen Mohan's find. Kudos to Praveen Mohan for throwing light on the lost temples and bringing it to the forefront. Now its on NGC. Just Wow and looking forward for more exposure and coverage to Ancient Indian Architectural Wonders. Just don't forget to credit and acknowledge Praveen Mohan. Because the real audience know who's effort is bearing fruits.
#PraveenMohan is great. More channels / Network should take inspiration from him.
Pravin Mohan explained this before your channel.
As a Gujarati...I frequently go there and to my surprise everytime I have discovered new aspects of it.
It's so much of a whole sum experience...even terrifying at the end part. Inside there I feel some different energy as well.
Fyi this monument is also on the back of 100rs note.
Wow ❤️ such a beautiful mind-blowing architecture.
India isn't only tajmahal indeed . This mind-blowing architecture deserves some highlights in this world ❤️ .
Made by a queen not only in the memory of her husband but also for her people ❤️❤️
Watch praveenmohan TH-cam channel u will blown away by hindu architecture

Who has already seen Praveen Mohan video on this topic?
Praveen Mohan has the Original rights to this. First saw on his channel. What deep insights Praveen Mohan provides.
Art and Culture🇮🇳
Praveen Mohan first showcased this in his channel... Truly awesome👍👏👏😊 discoveries by him.. Deserves lots of accolades..
I was there in 2016, and it's absolutely more beautiful in reality than one can ever imagine, I was flabbergasted when I climbed down the steps to the bottom and the way it's built. It is truly a masterpiece architecture in its own right. I was left speechless the way it was constructed , amazing.
Only credit goes to PRAVEEN MOHAN sir
Jai shree ram,
Jai Hari Krishna
Om Namashivaya🙏🇮🇳🚩
Thanks to Praveen mohan, He made the video on this temple way before anyone even heard of this temple.
Incredible and even the landscape around it looks beautiful and well maintained.
Praveen Mohan really doing Justice to our Ancient Architecture!!!
I first saw this on Praveen Mohan's channel. He is truly a genius
Khatarnak ,best ancient architecture, masterpiece of Indian engineering
Hindu architecture
@@newsprint323Buddhist also they started first murti kala in India
And this is medieval architecture not ancient architecture
@@md.shahiquesubhani7241The tradition of Indian sculpture founed by Hindus and it extends from the Indus valley civilization of 2500 to 1800 bce, Buddhism didn't even exited at that point of time!
Rani ki vav, one of the great architecture of the world!💓
Trust me... the people of gujarat feel it normal ...such architectural uniqueness actually exists in every different part of gujarat and gujaratis are undoubtedly proud of it.
Delwara temple in aabu, shaking minarets, siddhi saiyed ni jali, in Ahmedabad somnath, Nishkalank Mahadev temple near mahua bhavanagar,...100s of ancient temples heritage and things youll not find anywhere except in india
Praveen Mohan sir ❤ hats off to him 👏
We all Indians are grateful to Praveen Mohan Ji uncovering the facts
i can spend days here going through all the carvings and idols. this is the real wonder, how can someone carve 1000+ idols from rock by digging straight down the ground. it's just amazing. love it.
Pride of Gujarat...♥️love from kutch....🍾🤗
Rani Ki Vav by rani udyamathi ✨👌
Indian Architectures are amazing !!
No comparison !!
❣
No one can explain ancient architecture like Praven Mohan sir, want to see him in NatGeo someday soon
I think because it was inverted and most of it's architecture and sculptures remained below the ground level, that's the reason it has so well preserved sculptures on it's walls as it remained fairly protected from most of the invaders and pillagers. ❤️🙌
Praveen Mohan ji, thank you for making the world sit up and take notice.
There's so much to explore in Indian culture and architecture.At every single moment it surprises you with something marvellous, elegant,divine and spiritual.✨🥇🌞⛺🏰
I feel really blessed to be born in India.💖💗
Wonderful India! love from Bangladesh.
After Praveen Mohan revealing about this everyone got to know and they are explaining like they only revealed everything should thank to Praveen Mohan sir.....
Huge shoutout..to Praveen mohan..for his exemplary explaination on Rani ki wov..
It is not the only vav in Gujarat , there are other like adalaj ni vav , Ambapur vav and other small vav... Which has similar construction.
Actually their are 3-4 methods to build these stepwells .
I've also seen Praveen mohan video and i want to say that May be at that time the architecture may have got inspired by temples to built these vav....but it is definitely not inverted temples.
He talks a lot of things which are not true.
@@NizilShah hana, those vav was built to preserve water by queens and kings.
Because Gujarat weather is hot.... And why would someone built inverted temples? it's sign of negativity.
Tum log bas NCERT k kitabe hi pado aur akbar the great karte raho. "Definitely Not" kaise keh sakte ho ? Agar ye tumhare dadaji ne banwa ya tha aur tumhe bata kar gaye toh phir theek hai nahi toh keep open mind. Pani bachana tha toh kuwa khodte bada sa gadda khodte use pagalon ki tarh bhar bhar k kyu shilpkari se sajate
@@saitama3843 Haan mene books me hi pada hai or hamari gujarat government ne hi hamare syllabus me dala hai ye sab but there is nothing about inverted temple. Bachpan se pata hai isliye inta confidence hai k me right hu.
it can be a inverted temple is just theory , see the (?) On the title it self . Prove nai hua abhi tak kuch.
Or log inverted temple kyu banayenge it is negetive or hamare purvaj to hamse bhi jyada religion ko follow karte the us time to vo negetive energy kyu create karenge ??
Or ye rani udaymati ne banaya tha husband ki yaad me or isliye isme itni kalakari hai , kyuki vo kala se boht pyar karti thi or is water ka use janta kar paye jab jarurat ho, because Gujarat weather is hot.
It is 7 stepwell and there are also other stepwells available in Gujarat which can be smaller or equal to ranki vav.
I know and have knowledge about my state batter than you.
So, Apni frustration yaha na nikale har jaga hindu muslim na kare . Thank you !

All thanks to Praveen Mohan to highlight this amazing architecture.. NGC has much more to catchup...:P
At least they can give credit to Praveen Mohan
Praveen Mohan man you’ve done it, we are here, our culture has to be recognised, no longer we are just obscene pictures on temple walls, we are a heritage
I got remembrance of a scene in song of Sita Raman... Such a beautiful place...
Thanks to Praveen Mohan for bringing this up in his channel, first. Good to see this in National Geographic too.
We should thank the westerners who dug out this marvel and began the restoration work.
@@smithjames2966 Thanks to Archaeological Survey of India for rediscovering the temple in 1940s and completing the restoration in 1980s..Kudos to the entire team for this great work..
@@smithjames2966 true
We have a very rich history and we have to feel proud on that. Our ancestors were so much ahead of time.
yeah , but GENZ wil still consider wester things superior than our history , they dont even know about maharna partap , shivaji and more correctly and talk about napollean , alexnadra
Patan used to be known as Anahilapataka or Anilvada and was the capital of the Solanki and Vaghela dynasties. It used to be one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world with so many huge temples. It was a circular city with the Royal Palace being at the centre. The Rani Ki Vav Stepwell and the Sahastralinga Talav Reservoir sat on the outskirts the city and provided drinking water to the citizens. The city was largely sacked and destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate and again by the Gujarat Sultanate. Now, apart of the ruins of the Rani Ki Vav and and Sahastralinga Talav, nothing remains of this ancient city.
I think it's a great example of The Great Ancient Bharatiya Architecture , but I don't really think it was built to look like an inverted temple! I've some reasons to prove it!
What are your reasons?
Yea prove it ??
Kindly Consult and Visit Mr Praveen Mohan's Channel befor your baseless debate !! Thanx 👍👍
Thank you.. National Geographic for showing this marvellous monument so beautifully in short video.... amazing..proud to Indian!
Like Praveen mohan said don't think the structure is as simple as water conservation tank , it's like current day Indian archeologists are just following what Western explorer thought it was used for... some out of box thinking is required here
Inspired by Praveen Mohan, no doubt. This video, I meant. 😉
I am from Gujarat and can tell you that there is no awareness and this masterpiece is in neglected position.
Wrong. I am from patan and Rani ki vav and modhera sun tample are extremely well maintained. They are part of unesco world heritage.
@@CrazzyPicasso Even the video shows it's well maintained. Some people have nothing to do but push oppressed Hindu narratives.

@@dwarasamudra8889 And so you now want to convert Taj Mahal into a temple?
@@thewhatorwhyNo, I dont think Taj Mahal was ever a temple. It was riverfront palace owned by a wealthy Hindu man that was sold to shah jahan. However, I do think Rudramahalaya in Siddhupur, Vijaya Mandal in Vidisha, Shahi Idgah (Krishna Janmabhoomi) in Mathura, Gyanvapi (Kashi Vishveshwar) and Lal Masjid (Krutti Vishveshwar) in Varanasi etc should all be returned and their temples reconstructed. There are countless other temples that were converted into mosques like Khambhat Masjid, Qutub Minar Complex in Delhi, Atala Masjid in Jaunpur, Lal Darwaja Masjid in Jaunpur, Adina Masjid in Pandua, Ajmer Masjid etc. Not sure what to do with these.
If this was in any other country it will be among the 7 World wonder - love you Praveen mohan ji
Praveen mohan already made a video on this
Our Indian Architecture is Unbelievable ❤️

Masterpiece of Indian architecture ❣️
@praveen mohan
I'm so glad that Nat Geo is bringing such a beautiful side of India on the surface. 🙂
This is not NGC who brought here kindly Watch Praveenmohan channel who has shed more light than this fellow who's talking As if it's his own ! This is just a ROUGH COPY of detailed Mr Praveen Mohan's Work and also u can find More Intresting info about this place on his channel and his channel only !!
Yes credit goes to Praveen Mohan sir.
Nat geo was just taking credit for the amazing work praveen mohan did
I saw this on Pravin Mohan channel. His channel has covered the mystery of ancient India sanatan temples. 🙏
This is truly symbol of love by the QUeen 👑 for his 👑 King as well as for their people through conserving water and supplying it during chaotic situation.❤
More than the architecture, I am amazed by the Patola weaving technique where the thread is coloured first and after weaving the patterns emerge correctly! I have seen the Thai weaves inspired by the Patola weaves and must say that the variety of colours and designs used in India are way ahead.
These patolas were exported the world over and especially east asian countries during ancient times. These take months to make and cost upwards of 1 lakh rupees. There are only 3 families in patan that now possess the art to make authentic patan patolas.
Muje bahut proud hai ki me ishi city, Patan ki rahane vali hu
I'm amazed by the fact that many people already watched Praveen Mohan's video❤ Mera desh badal raha hai...
Wanna a tour for our incredible India 🇮🇳
भारतवर्ष विश्व को वरदान है, अद्भुत है हमारी सनातन धर्म संस्कृति, जो संसार में अद्वितीय है.

just absolutely breathtaking.
It's Rani ki WOW 😍😍😍
great pun!!
Proud to be Indian... These architects are just incredible and beyond our imagination. And always have scientific meaning hiding behind the bars of rich culture.
Stunning ! As usual mother India never disappoints! It will take you a lifetime to see what Jambudweep has to offer !
It should undoubtedly be the 8-9th wonder of the world

Thanks to Mr. Praveen Mohan, now us Indians can look at these marvelous structures and have a different and unique perspective for each of these structures.
Please give credit to @praveen Mohan
They should have got Praveen Mohan on show. I watched his video on rani ki vav it was so insightful
Have had the privilege of physically seeing this beautiful engineering and architecture marvel. The feeling you get surrounded by all the sculptures and carvings is indescribable
जय श्री राम 🙏🇮🇳🚩🤗
This comment section is an example of exemplary community standards. So nice to see ppl standing up for a guy who’s not even mentioned once in the vedio. Goes showing that ppl have finally started recognising the work by Indians and give them their due credit 🎉
Many other structural marvels are not that well protected but this this is well maintained . Amazing!!
As someone who lives in patan, I visited this place quite a few times and I'm also suggesting you to come and have a visit. It's a beautiful place, better to be seen by yourself.
Kudos to #praveen_mohan for showing these marvellous temple before any other channel
