Stepwells are wells or ponds in which the water is reached by descending a set of steps. They are seen in western India and arid regions of the Indian subcontinent, extending right upto Pakistan.
Stepwells are examples of storage and irrigation tanks that were developed in India, mainly to cope with seasonal variations in water availability.
Stepwell has some distinct names. In Hindi-speaking regions, they are referred as baudi , bawri, baoli, bavadi, and bavdi. In Gujarati and Marwari language, they are usually called vav or vaav . Other names include kalyani or pushkarani (Kannada) and barav (Marathi).
