Rani ki Vav in Patan has over 500 main sculptures. It was buried under silt for centuries, which is why the carvings are so well preserved. A true wonder of water architecture. #stepwells #gujarat #history

Reading list for anyone starting with Indian temple history: start with regional temple guides, then move to inscriptions. Primary sources change how you see a temple. #history #reading

Found an 1880s survey map of Jaipur in the state archives. The old city grid is clearly visible. #maps #jaipur #history
