HistoryTejapala, a minister in Vaghela court who is known along with his brother Vastupala, constructed the stepwell for the benefit of travellers. It is built in the first half of the 13th century CE, probably between 1230 and 1240. The construction of the stepwell between Tejalapura or Jirnadurga (modern Junagadh) and Vamanasthali (modern Vanthali) is mentioned in the Jinaharsha's Vastupala-Charita (dated Vikram Samvat 1497 or 1441 CE), a biography of Vastupala. So it is identified with Ra Khengar stepwell by Madhusudan Dhaky and dated between 1230 and 1240. the dating is also supported by the stylistic evidences.[2][3] The construction is mistakenly attributed to Chudasama ruler Khengara, who reigned from about 1098 to 1125 CE.[4][5] It is the State Protected Monument (S-GJ-170) and is under management by the Agriculture Department of the Government of Gujarat.
