Wootz or Mechanical Damascus?

Like said before, most likely Indian and mechanical. Here is a picture of the ladder in mechanical pattern.

When I think of mechanical patterns a topography map comes to mind. If the pattern looks map like it is a mechanically made pattern. The pattern on this sword looks very map like as when elevation changes are noted, so to me its a pattern weld.
