Adalaj Village Ahmedabad Gujarat 382 421
Description
Located in the village of Adalaj and built in the year 1499 by Queen Rudabai, this stepwell served as a place for relaxation for pilgrims and caravans in the earlier years. Boasting of Indo-Islamic architecture, it was constructed with the belief that villagers would visit the well to collect water, offer their prayers to deities carved on the walls and rest for some time. Since direct sunlight does not reach the interiors of the vav, the temperature inside the stepwell is apparently six degrees cooler than the outside. A unique feature of this stepwell is that out of the many stepwells in Gujarat, this is the only one with three entrance stairs.
