CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY 
The Kanech stepwell is located in agricultural
fields outside the village, near the road connecting NH-1 to Kanech in Ludhiana
district of Punjab. Built of brick and lime mortar, the structure comprises a
stepped descent leading to a square chamber opening into a large circular well,
with an octagonal platform and a small ancillary tank on the exterior. Although
sometimes attributed to the Sikh period, its architectural form closely
parallels the stepwells at Doraha, suggesting a Mughal-period date. The stepwell
is unprotected and survives in fair condition, with extensive wild vegetation
covering parts of the structure.
