CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
The stepwell at Doraha is a Mughal-period stepwell located to the south of the rest house Sarai Doraha in Ludhiana district of Punjab, and probably constructed between 1611-1620 CE contemporaneously with the sarai. It is built of brick and lime mortar and extends over 46 metres in length, incorporating a large circular well and an adjoining chamber with arched openings facing the well shaft. The structure is unprotected and survives in a deplorable condition, with substantial portions submerged due to a rise in the water level.
