Enjoy Baramotechi
Vihir with SURABHI TRAVELS Pune.
Baramotichi Vihir is a step well in Limb, Satara village. It was constructed between
1641 and 1646 by Sau. Virubai Bhosale. It was meant to be a water source to all
the farms around with its 12 moats. From the top, visitors can see few tiny
walls and water channels. The well is octagonal in shape and looks like dug-out Shivling is 110
feet deep and 50 feet in diameter. A step-well is just a well with steps all along the sides
which lead you to the bottom of the well. Of course, the design of the steps
range from “just steps” to “intricately carved designs”. This one had steps
from one side leading to the middle of the well from where there were look-out
galleries. This is not a traditional
step-well like the ones in Rajasthan.
