While those with or without brick or stone lining were used as draw-wells for water, the ring-wells, so called because of the lining with terracotta rings, are generally not considered to be draw-wells (see below). - [Previous: v1.c19.s14.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.9) - [Next: v1.c19.s15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.2) - [Up: v1.c19.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.1) · Pramāṇa
