Impressive, it must have been a central element of the region with a supreme importance since they've put so much extra work in.

thank you doodlebear...yes, you are absolutely right..
It was built to collect rain water during monsoon period. and there is a carving by hands on stones.

It's a shame we don't know more about the Subcontinental culture in Europe. A true hidden treasure. thx.
