Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) Water conservation.
Stepwells are ancient water harvesting structures that are found in many parts of India, but are particularly concentrated in the state of Gujarat. They are typically built as a series of steps that descend into a well, and they were used to provide water for drinking, bathing, and irrigation.
Stepwells are a blend of architecture and water conservation. They are often beautifully decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures, and they are also highly functional, providing a reliable source of water for people and animals.
The other options are incorrect.
- Option b) is incorrect because stepwells are not primarily used for defense.
- Option c) is incorrect because stepwells are not primarily used for religious practices.
- Option d) is incorrect because stepwells are not primarily used for irrigation management.
