Bramha Kund is a historic stepped water reservoir located in Sihor, Gujarat, historically associated with the region's ancient administrative and religious significance. The structure features traditional stone masonry common to the water architecture of the Saurashtra region. It serves as a focal point for the Gautameshwar area, reflecting the historical urban planning of Sihor. The site is characterized by its rectangular layout and stone steps that descend to the water level, which varies seasonally. It remains a site of cultural interest for those studying the heritage of the Gohilwar kingdom. The surroundings are integrated with the local Gautameshwar temple complex, linking it to wider regional pilgrimage circuits.
