Adalaj Stepwell

Adalaj Stepwell, sometimes referred to as Adalaj Vav, is a gorgeously constructed stepwell that can be found in the Gujarati town of Adalaj, close to Gandhinagar. Queen Rudabai, the wife of the Vaghela chief Veer Singh, constructed the stepwell in the fifteenth century. The well provided a cool haven during the sweltering summers in addition to being a supply of water.

The stepwell was built in the 11th to 13th century using a type of architecture called Solanki. The stepwell features numerous floors, elegant pillars, arches, and balconies, and is artistically carved. Beautiful carvings and sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses, animals, and legendary beings cover the stepwell's walls.
