1891 ASI report on Prithviraj Chauhan's step well surfaced!
Just a few days ago, the ASI team along with the administration team visited Emperor prithviraj Chauhan's step well in sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. Today this step well is in a dilapidated condition and only one and a half storeys are left, but 130 years ago the condition was different.
During its investigation, ABP news has found a report of the Archeological survey of india of the year 1891, in which Emperor prithviraj Chauhan's step well located in sambhal has been mentioned. On page 38 of "The Monumental Antiquities and Inscriptions" written in 1891 by Elias Anton Farhar, the then officer of ASI, it was told that a three-storey step well is located in the western part of sambhal, which was built with thick and big stones in the Hindu period. Also, there is a green garden around the step well.
In the ASI report, the actual length of the stepwell is 3 floors
In such a situation, it is clear from this report of ASI that today the actual length of the stepwell is 3 floors, out of which only one and a half floors are left today. However, after inspecting the stepwell recently, sambhal DM Dr. Rajendra Pansia told ABP news that he is trying to start the excavation of Emperor prithviraj Chauhan's stepwell soon under the guidance of the ASI team.
