'''Mithi Vav''' is a [[stepwell]] located in [[Palanpur]] town of [[Banaskantha district]], [[Gujarat]], India.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.divyabhaskar.co.in/news/MAT-UGUJ-c-70-165722-NOR.html|title=પાલનપુરમાં મીઠીવાવની સફાઈ કરાઈ|date=27 December 2013|work=[[Divya Bhaskar]]|access-date=4 March 2017|language=gu|trans-title=Mithi Vav of Palanpur cleaned}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tourismguideindia.com/banaskantha(palanpur).htm#mithi-vav|title=Tourism in Banaskantha(Palanpur), Best Places in Banaskantha(Palanpur)|website=www.tourismguideindia.com|access-date=23 January 2017}}</ref> It is considered the only surviving monument of [[Paramara dynasty|Parmara]] rule in the town. It was built around the 8th century. It is situated in the eastern part of the town. The five storey stepwell can be entered from the west. Based on its architectural style, it is believed that it is constructed in late medieval period but the sculptures embedded in the walls may belong to earlier period. The sculptures include that of [[Ganesha]], [[Shiva]], [[Apsara]]s, dancing figures, worshiping couples and floral or geometrical patterns. A worn out inscription found on one sculpture embedded in left wall cannot be read clearly, but the year Samvat 1320 (1263 AD) can made out.<ref>{{cite thesis |last= Mehta|first=R.
