Stepwells across Telangana receive second lease of life
An 1810 stepwell from the Nizam era has been restored by ghmc and NIMS under the direction of Secretary Urban Infrastructure and Development Arvind Kumar. The Kumandan Baoli in the Gudimalkapur region was hidden behind construction debris, but it is anticipated that it would soon be brought back to its former splendour.
Even before the institution was established, there was a stepwell from the 18th century that was named for the famed poet Mah Laqa Chanda Bai. She expressed gratitude to OU Vice Chancellor D Ravinder Yadav and stated that taking up the restoration will serve as an example for young people in the State.
Green Team Wanaparthy, Team Pink, and SAHE hyderabad are also assisting in the rehabilitation of this stepwell, with initial funding provided by Linkwell Telesystems. 360LIFE will continue to protect and advance it. Another historic stepwell in warangal will shortly begin to be de-vegetated and desilted. Kalpana Ramesh, Mayor Gundu Sudharani, and P Pravinya, the warangal District Collector, recently visited the Metlabavi in Shivanagar.
Along with these restoration projects, a group of nine architects from the hyderabad Designer Forum recently finished research describing the stepwells' former splendour throughout Telangana. Many more stepwells in the State are anticipated to be restored as a result of this study. The state government of telangana has started initiatives to restore a large number of historic buildings. Stepwells, which have been common since the Kakatiya era, have come to symbolise the State's efforts to protect the area's architectural history.
