Hey guys, there is a mysterious ancient structure in Gujarat. What is it? Archeologists and historians tell us a standard story: This is called Rani Ki Vav, it is a step well, built for the locals, so the locals can get down these steps and draw water from this well. But you are about to learn that this is not a step well, but it was built for a completely different reason.
What you are looking at is one of its kind. It is an inverted, negative, temple. Some fancy words, you may think.
A typical Hindu temple starts with ground level, has some steps going up to increase its height or altitude gradually. Finally, at the tower area, starts with a large base, and then ends up have a pointy end at the top, right? Now, Rani Ki Vav is designed exactly the opposite way, it starts with the ground level, slowly starts to decrease its altitude, you gradually go down, and at this area, it starts with a larger top, but ends up having a pointy end at the very bottom.
Maybe I can do better, so here, we are making a model of Rani Ki Vav, imagine this foam is the piece of land, and I am starting to carve the steps here, and then there is a flat area here, and then I carve more steps, then a flat area, and so on. And at the far end, I have made a deep, so called “well” which gradually reduces in its radius towards the bottom. If you look at this model, it looks very much like Rani Ki Vav. But in order to see the negative temple, we have to fill up the empty space, and see what happens.
So, I have taken some plaster of paris, and I am going to fill up the empty space. I am filling up everything and kind of levelling up at the ground level. The plaster of paris is, now, slowly solidifying inside the empty space. In a few minutes, it completely solidifies. Now, remember, I told you it is an inverted negative temple. So, I have to invert this model. Now let me cut off the foam, and see how the solidified empty space looks. The foam represents the positive material and I am slowly, slowly removing it. As I am doing it, you can start to understand that it looks very much like a Hindu temple. Let me clean up the foam sticking on it, and you can see for yourself. This is not just looking similar to an ancient temple; it is looking identical to a typical ancient temple. I have just proved my theory that Rani Ki Vav is not a step well, but an inverted negative temple. If you go to most ancient temples, you will see steps rising in altitude, then there will be a small shrine called a mandapa, then there will be more steps, leading to more mandapas, and at the far end, you will see a giant tower with a pointed top.
This is exactly what we see here. If we exclude the minor details, and look at the macro model, there is no doubt that it was built as a negative, inverted temple and no other temple has ever been built like this, not only in India, but in the whole world. So, what we are looking at is actually a wonder of the world. No one has understood that this is such a temple in the last few centuries, I think I am the first one to understand this.
How did I realize it was a Negative temple? I visit hundreds of ancient sites, and the energy and vibration in every place is usually very positive and peaceful. However, our entire team became very negative as we entered this site. They felt anger and sorrow, they blamed it on the weather and other things but I could feel the negativity get more and more intense as I went deeper and deeper into the structure. This is the exact opposite of what happens when you visit a positive temple. Typically, in a Hindu temple, as you walk towards the main chamber your positivity increases and you reach a calm, joyful state when you are in the main chamber. You can easily dismiss this as pseudoscience but we have all had at least one instance where we met a negative person, but we did not trust our instinct and paid for it.

I want to meet you Praveen. Very important
A good possibility of why there is no husband statue, the energy of the place could be the husband. I don't mean a ghost or a haunting, but from what i understand sound and energy are a huge part of these ancient sites. Please keep these videos coming.
Your eye for detail is so sharp it's really amazing. 😇
Thank you Anna,..
More power to you..🙏🙏🙏💎
They say there are 7 wonders in the world. I can show you 7000 wonders in India itself. Rani ki Vav is one example 🙏🕉️🚩

Exactly 👍 one life is not enough, to explore india 👌
I love India and all it’s beautiful architecture
I can believe it, some incredible architecture in India, some real lost technology. Very special place and people, I've always liked Indian people and the many many cultures from India that I have met here in NZ
Praveen has become one of UA-cam's foremost authorities on ancient temples in India. He has something better than a paper degree however. He has the attention, respect, and backing of the people!
I would love to see Praveen get his own show on Netflix, or one of the many platforms where his information can get to more people. I am willing to bet that he single handed has helped tourism for India.
Namaste 🙏
Degrees are for sellouts lol. Real people learn what they will without permission from some elite group of assholes.
Nisandeh 🙏
1000% I stop scrolling and open everyvone of his videos when I get the notification that he just posted!!! He has one of, if not thee best channel on YT!!!!
Indonesian here, i enjoyed watching many of your videos and sees many wonderful ancient temples in India, I hope you could come and make videos about Bali`s pura (temples) as well, because as you know Bali is the last stronghold of Hinduism in Indonesia, I believe they had some great insight as well in their temples just like in India
i think bali temples wil be easy to understand
but india has 3000-5000 years old temples in millions , which are undiscovered so first he should research on india then other countries
you should check this out - sahebs who never left
it is the story of india hided from world 9.8 rating
Bali is so beautiful. I want to visit once

Yeah that's a good suggestion carvings there might tell how our ancestors connected maybe
It is so sad that my culture which is the western world never teaches us about all the amazing ancient temples, building and knowledge/teaching of your ancestors. They were so far advanced from other cultures but the knowledge has been completely disregarded in the western world.
Thank you for your fabulous videos.
Because they can't digest this fact that Indian culture was most advanced and far ahead of its time
I believe this is intended , the hiding and negligence of the ancient history of humanity . probably people who control the world want the people to be insignificant ignorant people ,detached from their great history . Its easier to manipulate people this way.
Why are you blaming the western world? And who exactly? It is the duty of each country to teach own culture....stop harassing ghosts...nobody stops you from learning what you like!!! Each time you point a finger at another there are 3 fingers pointing at you!!!!

@@crystalhealing847 western world enslaved india for 300 years. Still india has kept its culture. That in itself is a great achievement. India is now thriving in every dimension. Now Indians are in the right time to talk about India's advanced ancient technology.
It is completely obvious when you fly over it, but to people just walking past it, they would never guess! Praveen Mohan, your observations never cease to 🤯 my mind!🙏🏼
India was so advanced in ancient times and you make all the art, culture and science so interesting. Thank you Praveen.

Chances are, there are other places like this, still buried. Excellent video, Praveen. Thank you for all of your research, enthusiasm, and dedication.

New lesson learned today. A negative temple/ inverted temple. It makes sense. You have mentioned a temple under the water some where in Tamil Nadu I am comparing with this why not inverted temple?
Our amazing ancestors' are think tanks. Hope this treasures are protected and kept safely for the future generation.
Thank you Mr Praveen.
You are most welcome Stephen! Do share the video with others too!!
Praveen, you are simply brilliant. I worked in the field of archaeology in many places around the world, but I've learned more from you than I ever learned during those years working at the archaeology sites. Thank you for all you do!

Do the locals avoid it because of the negativity? Do they believe it's an inverted temple, or simply a fancy well?
Great 👍Thank You Ritesh!!
@@alukuhito I have visited this place few years back before Covid, it is not a temple and you don’t feel negative thoughts, IMO it is a peaceful place and everyone should visit if they have a chance.
@@davejohnson6738 OK, thanks. Are you sure it's not a temple? Praveen showed that it's an inverted temple, plus he said the people there were negative.
I am scared that as city expands people will take over this place and even Wakq board will claim the place as it claimed 1500 year old temple in TN, built even before islam came into existence
I visited this temple in 2007 and man I still feel the negative feeling. I still remember it coz I have visited it multiple times and dont know how I always felt the same. Similarly I felt the same feeling when I visited Agrasen ki bawli in Delhi in 2016. Can the two structures be related ? I am feeling so intrigued and in kind of way feeling good knowing that I could actually sense the vibes of the place even in 4th or 5th standard.. ❤❤ Hats off to your analysis.. Great work..
Negative or positive ??
Negative feelings from Agrasen ki bawli!! Agreed
Yes I also visited Agrasen ki Baoli around 3-4 yeas ago,nd i felt negative energy,now i know the reason why...

@ArianOriginal21 I don't need to read it. But the majority of your community who read this has become terrorists and the entire world is witnessing and every country is fed-up with this Islam. If you think this book talk about peace better go and tell terrorists. We have seen many verse in Quran which talks below
Surah 2 (Al-Baqarah)
Verse 191:
And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah1 is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
Surah 3 (Ali ‘Imran)
Verse 151:
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority.1 And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.
Surah 4 (An-Nisa)
Verse 56:
Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.
Verse 89:
They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away [i.e., refuse], then seize them and kill them [for their betrayal] wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.
Surah 66 (At-Tahrim)
Verse 9: O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
@ArianOriginal21we all know what happened to our ancient Hindu temples by Invaders. No need to mention peace from that religion

I am blown away by Indian history and architecture. Your perspective is top notch. I would really like to see more about the people who built and carved those amazing temples. How they lived, how they designed the temples and the planning there in. Keep up the good work.

It’s interesting that you mention 7 layers for this temple. As per ancient texts, there are 7 worlds below the feet - Athala, Vithala, Suthala, Rasaathala, Thalaathala, Mahaathala and Paathaala. Also all these worlds are negative in energy with Pathaala being the lowest energy. Makes me wonder is this temple is dedicated to these 7 underworlds. Very nice presentation. Love your videos and a big fan of your work!
Ur house is the lowest
Out of 14, 7 upper relms and 7 lower relms.
We are in the 7th relm. Those who open 7 chakras of Human body can move through 7 upper relms.
5th relm is the Deva Lokha the relm of Elemental/Demi Gods.
1st lokha is where Brahma meditate to create the planets and stars, time moves differently in each Relms(refer Hindu units of time).
So humans who are less materialistic and by his karma move through these relms. If we are highly materialistic we go down to 7 lower relms.
Similiar to the description given by Dante in Inferno

Praveen Sir, I always get amazed by your work and the way you delineate our Indian history and temples in your videos! This, Rani ki Vav, I am hearing for the first time and I watched lot of your videos previously. Thank you for all your work the great knowledge you share to the world. Best of luck to you and keep sharing!
Yeah, dude is Awesome
Fascinating as always! Thank you. Rani ki Vav is a UNESCO world heritage site and on the UNESCO page it says it is 'designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water'. The stepwell is also a design printed on hundred rupee notes in India.
"designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water". There is more to find than this simple western understanding of Indian ancient structures.
Your contribution to Indian archeology is invaluable. Even though you're not in the mainstream, you are doing a marvellous job in explaining Indian wonders than people who are taking fat paychecks and sell us distorted history⚠️

@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 how you know about " om tat sat"? 😮 are you hindu?
What an absolutely insane piece of work. Why in the world did they build this place? How in the world did they build it. Mind boggling like so many ancient Indian constructions. The tech needed to build this place is off the charts. But why? What were they trying to do?
This place is a total enigma not any part of it makes any sense.
Great stuff as always Praveen!! See you next time!
If anyone wants to destroy Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) , first they must destroy temples. After many invasions, we still stand strong just because of our temples.
Why? Because temples have been real positive sources of our existence and each temple has its own functionality (according to previous videos of Mr. Praveen).
They might have tried a new way to build a temple. Something uniquely done.
This man should be given an award like Padma Sri or Padma Bhushan for his tremendous contribution in analysing the unknown history of our country .. the things which he discovers everytime will not be available in any of the books which we read or reading ... Hatsoff for ur unconditional contribution Praveen mohan !!
In an Ideal World he Would Get the Highest Indian Award.
Although we gained independence in 1947, the Bureaucracy is still pretty much like that of during British Ruled India Times.
I agree
He is an excellent narrator. Its great that he moved on from Ancient Aliens and now has his own show where he shows people things and its all fact and then the viewer is left to guess what this was used for. Hands off to Mr. Praveen Mohan.
Right di
Just imagine the sheer amount of efforts in building a place like this more than thousand years ago. If you know engineering and think about the building process from the start it is absolutely mind numbing. The planning of the temple, the drafting of drawings, making a blueprint or a raw model on paper or whatever they used at that time, making plans on what to do and when to do it, calculating angles so that they dont mess anything after they have started building the temple and this is all in just the early stages, imagine the sculptors who have carved this in such detail that it almost looks 3d printed somewhat, imagine the sheer amount of skillfulness needed to carve each and every nook and cranny to such high level of detail without any modern tools.

I'm an adult, I can form my own opinion on these sites and Praveen's opinion without some other idiot telling me why he's wrong.
I STAND WITH PRAVEEN...WE ALL DO BROTHER!!!!💪
Speak for yourself. Here’s an actual explanation of the site by actual historian’s.
Rani-ki-Vav (the Queen’s Stepwell) at Patan, Gujarat
Rani-ki-Vav, on the banks of the Saraswati River, was initially built as a memorial to a king in the 11th century AD. Stepwells are a distinctive form of subterranean water resource and storage systems on the Indian subcontinent, and have been constructed since the 3rd millennium BC. They evolved over time from what was basically a pit in sandy soil towards elaborate multi-storey works of art and architecture. Rani-ki-Vav was built at the height of craftsmens’ ability in stepwell construction and the Maru-Gurjara architectural style, reflecting mastery of this complex technique and great beauty of detail and proportions. Designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water, it is divided into seven levels of stairs with sculptural panels of high artistic quality; more than 500 principle sculptures and over a thousand minor ones combine religious, mythological and secular imagery, often referencing literary works. The fourth level is the deepest and leads into a rectangular tank 9.5 m by 9.4 m, at a depth of 23 m. The well is located at the westernmost end of the property and consists of a shaft 10 m in diameter and 30 m deep.
Rani-ki-Vav is an exceptional example of a distinctive form of subterranean water architecture of the Indian subcontinent, the stepwell, which is located on the banks of the Saraswati River in Patan. Initially built as a memorial in the 11th century CE, the stepwell was constructed as a religious as well as functional structure and designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water. Rani-ki-Vav is a single-component, water management system divided into seven levels of stairs and sculptural panels of high artistic and aesthetic quality. It is oriented in an east-west direction and combines all of the principle components of a stepwell, including a stepped corridor beginning at ground level, a series of four pavilions with an increasing amount of storeys towards the west, the tank, and the well in tunnel shaft form. More than five hundred principle sculptures and over a thousand minor ones combine religious, mythological and secular imagery, often referencing literary works.
Rani-ki-Vav impresses not only with its architectural structure and technological achievements in water sourcing and structural stability, but also in particular with its sculptural decoration, of true artistic mastery. The figurative motifs and sculptures, and the proportion of filled and empty spaces, provide the stepwell’s interior with its unique aesthetic character. The setting enhances these attributes in the way in which the well descends suddenly from a plain plateau, which strengthens the perception of this space.
Rani-ki-Vav is preserved with all its key architectural components and, despite missing pavilion storeys, its original form and design can still be easily recognized. A majority of sculptures and decorative panels remain in-situ and some of these in an exceptional state of conservation. Rani-ki-Vav is a very complete example of the stepwell tradition, even though after geotectonic changes in the 13th century it does no longer function as a water well as a result of the change to the Saraswati River bed. It was however the silting of the flood caused during this historic event, which allowed for the exceptional preservation of Rani-ki-Vav for over seven centuries.
All components including the immediate surrounding soils which adjoin the vertical architecture of the stepwell are included in the property. In terms of intactness, the property does not seem to have experienced major losses since its flooding and silting in the 13th century. However, Patan like many Indian urban centres is experiencing rapid urban growth and the western expansion of the city towards Rani-ki-Vav has to be carefully controlled to protect the integrity of the property in the future.
Authenticity
Rani-ki-Vav has a high level of authenticity in material, substance, design, workmanship and, to a certain extent, atmosphere, location and setting. While it maintained its authentic material and substance, it also required some punctual reconstructions for structural stability. In all instances reconstructed elements were only added where structurally required to protect remaining sculpture, and they are indicated by smooth surfaces and a lack of decoration which can be easily distinguished from the historic elements. Around the outer terrace at ground level, slopes of smooth descent, a so-called sacrificial terrace, were created to prevent soil erosion following stronger rain falls. Unfortunately the Rani-ki-Vav cannot retain authenticity in use and function as a result of the altered ground water levels following the relocation of Saraswati River.

Never heard about Rani ki vav. Such an elaborate technical structure built in 11 century as wiki says. Also looks like it needed lot of funds. Even now , if you built it , people would consider it ..amazing
Thanks for bringing it to our notice 👍
Wow, I haven't been on your channel in a while. It's really grown! You're content is genuinely mind blowing. These ancient structures you expose us to are beyond anything I could imagine lost cultures creating. Thank you so much! And sending much love your way!
These architectural marvels proves that the employees of that time had more practical and experimental knowledge than today's so called degree holders.
Thank you, Mr. Praveen. You changed our perception towards temples and their significance. Jai Hind!
I felt like i was watching an INTENSE MOVIE!! A champion you are at what you do Mr. Praveen Mohan❤️
India is so amazing. Just awe inspiring. I am from Philippines and I really want to visit India someday. I hope Indians will continue to protect and be proud of their ancestors.

Thank You Mike! Do share the video with others!!
I can't comprehend how much mystery is yet to be uncovered in ancient Hindu temples. It's just simply mind blowing
Indian History is absolutely fascinating and I love it! Praveen is my favorite teacher and tour guide!
The only teacher I learnt more than all the Indian history textbooks I read in my school
Oh man I am speechless . It's beyond present humans capability. Hats off to you Praveen.
Thank You Dan!
Thinking the same thing. There are so many ancient structures that we cannot duplicate with the state of the art tech.
Having been in some extremely old Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu, your description of the energy/vibe increasing towards the main chamber exactly fits my experiences.

Hello sir, I have visited this place 4 years back and heard same old story that this master piece was built by queen...... today because of your research I could understand real significance of this architecture.....thank you for exploring and spreading knowledge about ancient temples 👍
Yes!.. Praveen’s explanation makes more sense!.. It couldn’t have been a step well cause the final part where there is actually water, it looks like sheer drop!.. The levels seem to end abruptly in the circle and there are no gradual steps. It’s like 15 feet gap between each levels with no steps.
For me you are a Bharat Ratna Mr.Praveen 🙏😇
Your work for Bharat & your unquenchable curiosity for Indian Architecture is unparalleled 🙏👍
Dude you are gifted 🙏
Praveen hits another Home-Run. Learn about the Persian /East Indian Ancient connection that dates back at lease to 8500 BC which many years later lead to the East Indian Trading Company's History and learn about the great wealth of Ancient India. Thank you Praveen for sharing this wonderful History!!!
Persian were descendants of a vedic clan
Iran learnt things from India, not the other way around
Only you can make us understand such complex structures of ancient hindu temples . Thanks for your efforts 🙏🏻
Thanks and welcome Nilam! Share the video with others too!!
The builders wanted to demonstrate their expertise. That is a masterpiece of engineering.
Keep up the great work, research and knowledge. You are spreading the great information on the Hindu knowledge from antiquity and allowing so many people people who are unaware that this knowledge exists. Thank you and god bless you.👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🥇🥇🥇🥇
Thank 'you and Welcome Tinker!
I had to mention this... PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN .. happy to have intelligent ancestors 😀 in every part of the country
This is absolutel amazing! Positive and negative construction are new terms for me. In Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), yes, we can add or remove material (or merging or spliting) and ancient people already knew such concept. Amazing!
Keep up the great work. I really enjoy your videos and you never fail to amase me. 😊😊😊
Mr. Mohan no one ever thought of Rani ki Vav in this way....
What an amazing perspective, a truly enlightening episode.Thank you.
🎯✅️
Incredible India ❤❤. The Government should preserve all our ancient architectures and promote so that people from all over the world can experience Ancient Indian construction and Civilization we had.
Italian here.........thank you for posting this very informative video. I am honestly mystified by the beauty and by the mystery of this temple.
This temple is a true test of your adherence within the heart space within...this is the true test of true devotion...to withstand all the negative or positive vibrations that arise within...the inner state is our feeling heart...going into this sacred place does not mean you will not feel the negativity,but rather to accept everything that arises within ,good or bad,light or dark and to face/feel it all in a state of "equanimity!"This Temple is a man made test of this truth!
That's interesting.
I have been subscribed for many years now because I really love the ancient technology of India I feel like most people are either ignoring or just ignorant of these ancient places keep doing your thing man!!!
I am from Gujarat and i would like you to investigate one more such Vav in Ahmedabad - Dada Harir’s Vav. It is a similar type of construction (i guess as i am not an archaeological expert) and there are actual documents available regarding its origin so it might help.
There is one more vav in Amdavad and it's jethabhai ni vaav....i visited it 1 month ago
What does Vav mean in gujrati?
@@raispeaks5796well
@@raispeaks5796Vav (वाव) means Stepwell (बावली)
Thank you for enlightening us..I had never heard of this marvellous structure..just goes to show how our Indian architecture needs more exposure..
The structure has been given so much exposure that it's picture is Printed on 100 Rupee note. But sadly even after Government's exposure and printing it on the Currency people just ignore it which is So Sad.
Ahh..My bad.. Sorry for not paying more attention 🙏🏻
Man, your videos make think more and more that the ancient hindus where an entire different species of humans more advanced than any other that have existed so far. Both technologically and artistically. They didn´t create just to use, they filled the creations with pure art. It feels they could not do things differently. Like art was rooted in their thoughts every step of the way. It´s amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Most advanced? Please explain how the great pyramids were made.
@@wade4114 lol you comparing some kids art pyramids with this..theres nothing unique in pyramids
@@vidzo9996 simple mind
U r comparating pyramid just creating triangle using stone with temples which have story to tell having lots of sculptures, having symmetrical aligned construction, have people , have dug tones of soil which even today very difficult task no comparison between two structures. It easy to have triangle to have earth quake proof but to built a construction using pilors that too stand for thousands of year . There is no comparison between two construction
@@msb778 you clearly don’t know a single thing about the great pyramid of Giza but you got it all figured out. Congratulations! The ancient Egyptians didn’t know how it was made either! Why don’t you teach us all about these triangles?
Waw! This temple seems to me something amazing! Hopefully one day many of the questions you have asked us will have answers. Greetings from Barcelona, Thank you Praveen Mohan! 🙏🏻✨❤️
Maybe there was an ancient technology used to build ancient buildings. I wonder if the temples in Mexico used the ancient technology and could crystals and precious metals the sun ,stars and moon have been used as a generator of energy.
I cant believe that our ancestors are such brilliant ones.Or they were supernatural?
I always look at the stonework. Certain aspects of old, unexplained monuments are found throughout the world.
Multi-angled, precisely cut and expertly arranged stones are a dead giveaway, and mores the better if no bonding agent can be detected.
Not sure, but they surely were advance meditators who could download genius information from the Universe 😮
I can't help but to notice the similarities with the artistic quality of these stones to that found in the aztec/mayan ruins. Perhaps vimanas carved into the earth to create much of what we can't figure out today. You're amazing Praveen. Much love, from USA.
Well there are thousands of sites present in India which makes us older than aztec/mayan civilizations and many are yet to be discovered and unfortunately we lost 85% of our written evidences, time scripts, origin of our civilization codes and many more knowledgeable stuff during mughal rule in india, its sad
The shape, like ziggurats and pyramids also reflect the attempt to build manmade mountains, seen in all religions as approaching heaven.
Aztecs are the people who were ruled out of India to live in Patal Lok. What’s the location of America is when we pin in the globe in India it comes out in America. Astaka snake was forced to go there and also known as snake god in Aztecs civilisation.
@@kumarkartik378 true, its also interconnected with the monkey kingdom which was in America at some point
Aztec, mayan came WAY AFTER this...
It's the also mentioned in one of the Holy Hindu scriptures is that, the Danava ( kinda Demon but not really ) named *Moy* left India to build a new society in the Americas...later, his descendants were turned out to be your Maya / incan etc etc ....
Thank you for the update, Praveen..!! The best 15 minutes spent today..!! I have never heard of any inverted temples until now. The ancient Indian builders are the true masters of the grand archeological marvels. I still wonder if they were built by the deities themselves. I'm also wondering how the builders were able to stop the ground water from penetrating through the stone walls for hundreds, or thousands of years, because that is still very difficult to prevent today.
Truly one of the most amazing places I've learned about . Mind boggling. Imagine how much more is buried underground in India 🇮🇳 .
기계가 없던 시기에 거꾸로 파내려간 사원이라니..그 고생과 상상력의 위대함,기술력,상상할 수 조차없다^^
Could it be that the structure might be also extending sideways?
Thank you for making such elaborative videos that are easy to understand, about our history ☺🌻
You know what would be an awesome idea? Let’s get a 3D digital scan of this temple and invert it in CAD. We might unravel more mysteries! Keep up the awesome work Praveen!

Thanks Mr. Mohan for this clip which itself is a technological wonder from the ancient times. Never heard of a negative temple before. I was amazed and aghast that such a temple or structure exists here which has more secrets to its credit than what it actually reveals perhaps. May be like the pyramid this temple remains entwined with a secret power or energy flow that propagates through the ether medium which is still beyond human perception. I thank you sincerely for bringing this to our doorstep.
Wow, how can you know there is an ether medium if it is beyond human perception?
I thought the ether was a hypothetical substance imagined to permeate all space pre Einstein's theory of relativity - a figment of the imagination created to plot the relative positions of objects in space before they understood their relation in terms of relativity. In the reading I have enjoyed on the topic, Einstein's theory of relativity did away with the imagined ether altogether.
Well, we live and learn! I look forward to reading about the return of the illusive ether and the events which led to Einstein's work being overturned!
Thank you sir and I appreciate the gesture for pointing my mistake. Well at the outset you are mistaken if you think I intend to overturn any fact or theories. Let me be clear I am not a researcher nor do I belong to any scientific community. Whatever I mentioned on seeing the clip was just a casual effort by a ordinary viewer. Pertinent to say I read a book and saw some reports on the net where there as some conflicting views on this topic. Some were in favour and some against. Taking a cue I surmised it as ‘may be or may not be’ since am not in a position to judge who’s right or who’s wrong and hence used the term ‘eather’ in a simple casual manner nothing more or nothing less.
Hi @PraveenMohan, just 2 days ago stepwell at Bansilalpet, Hyderabad was cleaned and opened to public after 431 years. Please can you visit and do research there.
My thoughts are about how unbelievably impressed I am with this structure. It’s absolutely Astonishing.
Also my feeling is that it is a temple to the underworld in the way that the positive temples are to the heavens. Every level brings you closer to the divine, in the same way every level below brings you further away from it and closer to a different type of deity.
I think your teams reactions to the different levels vindicates my thoughts on this. Also I think the pit probably descends further then we are estimating. Imagine how old this place has to be to have been completely covered in earth, unless it was intentionally filled in by people who were harmed by it’s negativity.
There are more to these temples then what meets the eye.
Great work and thank you for showing me this wonder.
Maybe the negetivity is from the outsourcing of somethings that belongs to 'mankind' but was try to seperate.
Like a pavlovscher Reflex.
Or to spell the Anger out and throw it into the pit, where it belongs and can regenerate.
A place where u get close to our Dark hidden side to transform it the other way round.
With same effect at the end..
Intensing the Feelings bout what is pointes downward and How it feels upwards.
As an Training parkour for the state of conciousessness.
Travelling to different holy places.
Meanwhile the ages passend thy forget maybe How to use it in the right way.

Wow what a brilliant perspective sir. Negative temple, never thought of that. Indian ancient structures are so mysterious and mind boggling that leaves us challenging our way of understanding and belief about our ancient structures. The amount of great effort they had put to built these great structures are simply brilliant.
And you sir ,what should i write about you sir you are superb, brilliant. Keep doing great work as you always have. Thanks you sir for this splendid video..❤❤❤
Great minds! I was about to say the exact same thing: 'wow' and 'brilliant.'

I'm getting addicted to your videos. The information, deep analysis, contemporary aspects and every other detail you reveal is an amazing knowledge sharing about our rich past. Thank you
Glad you like them! Do share the videos wit others too!!
I have been to Rani-ni-Vaav several times. And 1 of the things i heard was it being designed as an inverted temple.
But never have i or any1 i know felt any negativity.
Being from baroda Gujarat have always heard stories about rani ni waav but mostly as a water source but when the video started it immediately clicked pravin bhai has proved those stories wrong with whole new perspective.... kudos Mr. Pravin Mohan...... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😀
I completed my graduation in this patan city and many times visited this site also. But this type of thoughts never came in my mind.. So this is good research on Rani ki Vav site. 🙏🇮🇳🕉️
Dude this temple is only 80km away from my home 😮
Thank you, Praveen, for your video on such a beautiful structure. Rani ki Vav is definitely a step well. Western India is an arid region with low rainfall. There have been many droughts in the past in this region. There has been a tradition to build such step wells in this area to conserve water , prevent evaporation to the extent possible, and also provide a shaded area for rest to a weary traveler. It was built by a Solanki queen. This dynasty ruled that area of Gujarat for a long time with Anhilpur Patan as the capital, which is today's Patan located close to the Vav. I have been there. It is an awesome manmade structure. Whenever I have been there, I have only felt awe at the craftsmanship and not negative energy, as you mention. There are such structures in other parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, too. The other famous ones are Adalaj and Dada Hari vav in Ahmedabad, which are visited by many tourists. Vav or stepwell is part of the folklore of Gujarat. You will find many references in its literature.
Well said! Much appreciate your information. You made more sense than him.
i visited this 6 years back, what i was told by a roadside hawker enroute was to not stay up to sunset, post which there are eery sounds heard etc which may also denote the presence of negativity if i may add.. Thanks Praveen. There are some fascinating structures in gujarat, please visit more often
Your perspective was an eye-opener for me & your practical experiment/ demo of an inverted temple was mind-blowing. Just a reminder that there quite a number of such inverted temples in India that we know of:
*Chand Baori, Rajasthan:* featured in hollywood/ bollywood movies like The Dark Night Rises (2012 - Batman's prison), Paheli (2005), Bhool Bhulaiya(2007)
*Agrasen Ki Baoli:* located smack ab in the middle of Delhi
*Pushkarani:* Hampi, Karnataka
*Toor Ji Ka Jhalra:* jodhpur, Rajasthan
*Rani Ji ki Baori:* Bundi, rajasthan
*Kale Hanuman Baori:* Jaipur, Rajasthan
The book *Stepwells - Liquid Assets of India* lists 10,000 stepwells in the state of Rajasthan alone! unfortunately, the book unnecessarily conflates purely functional stepwells with inverted temples, so it is hard to say how many of these 10k are really inverted temples. .
The way you observe the things is of different level.
You are gem. 🔥🔥
Thank You Chirag! Have a nice day!
I lost my mind. wow our ancestors used advanced technologies to do such wonders. Thanks Parveen for these work. love from Pakistan
Praveen is a national treasure, just like the temples he throws light on with his unique perspective!
Mr Praveen, thank you very much for sharing this video. Day by day we Indians are getting educated as you show the temples. Before when I used to visit the ancient temples, i wouldn't spend more than 15 minutes. After seeing your videos, I've started seeing the sculptures, their finishing, pillars, mantapa, the main entrance, steps, carvings on the sides....etc. Watching your videos is the best part of my life🙏. It's my genuine wish that Govt of India recognises your efforts and felicitate for your efforts. Moreover i would want them to hire you as a consultant in restoration of ancient structures. Also designing future temples in the country🙏.
Three Thanks to Praveen Mohan for this video ❣️
1. To tell the truth archeologists because I always thought that there's much more to excavate there
2. For telling us that this is not just a stepwell
3. Explaining us about inverted temples practically
You watch his one video and then become his follower. Praveen Bhaiya is such an amazing person. ❤️You from Maharashtra.
Thank You for your love & support Uday!
Woww 😯 amazing find...it just astounding..this structure was seen and observed by many but only you understood what exactly it is! Praveen you are super genius ❤️💙. The most learned archaeologists couldn't even guess. You are precious for world and us. Har har Mahadev 🙏.
I'm now very curious as to the carvings on the pillars of this structure and how they may be the same or very different from other temples of the same era.
Thank you Praveen for showing us your amazing and advanced ancient culture! 💞🌹
This is such a fascinating piece of research! Blew my mind away! Thank you, Praveen Mohan!
Welcome Anita! Do share the video with others too!!
Hatsoff mr praveen mohan you have shown our indian sanatan dharma great monuments architect. Present world countries are copying our methods of architect.
My grandma told me about this step well in my childhood, she said Rani built this Vav for her people hence no indetity of her in Rani ki Vav. Fun fact is my grandma never visited Rani ki Vav, she heard this story from her grandparents and they never visited as well and also there's similar story my grandma told me that there was King in Gujarat who actually remained childless because he didn't wanted his children to claim the facilities he built for his people so we can say ancient India was full of wonders.
I was looking for such a comment. Ancient Folk tales told by our respected grandparents and parents often have a hidden message that directs us towards the truth.
Will you be so kind to narrate the story in brief trying to remember as much as you can.
Thank you 🙏
Great job Indiana Mohan! You say that you feel the energy of the temple, do you ever meditate in the temple or try and listen?
What an awesome nation to live in. Seems like there so much see!!
