There are three Stepwells present at the site of Rohtas Fort. The deepest one has more than 148 steps to reach up to the water table of the well. The stairs are so wide that even war elephants and horses could drink water. The staircase is provided with arch beams at various intervals for support and bracing of side walls. The well is dried up for many years and is protected as a historical monument,
It is pertinent to mention here that the subject structure is the deepest stepwell in Pakistan.
