Korutla Stepwell (also called as Metla Baavi or Koneru) is a stepwell in the town of Korutla, located in the Jagtial district of the Indian state of Telangana.[1] It was constructed during the 11th century by Polvasa rulers[2] who were Jaina patrons of the stepwell.[1] The stepwell had many purposes such as providing water for daily chores, being a place of retreat for travelers, and a place where Bathukamma was celebrated.[1] Over time, the stepwell deteriorated and became dumping yard.[3] In 2023, the Korutla Municipality along with Pratistha, a team of architects and urbanists from Hyderabad, took on the restoration project.[2]
