Additional Reading
Jutta Jain-Neubauer, The Stepwells of Gujarat: In Art-Historical Perspective (1981), is a seminal work. Kirit Mankodi, The Queen’s Stepwell at Patan (1991), is well illustrated and offers an in-depth analysis of a particular stepwell and its construction. An essential reference work that covers new ground on the topic is Julia A.B. Hegewald, Water Architecture in South Asia: A Study of Types, Development and Meanings (2002). Also useful and beautifully illustrated is Morna Livingston, Steps to Water: The Ancient Stepwells of India (2002).
