Step wells like the one in Adalaj were once integral to the semi-arid regions of Gujarat, as they provided water for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for colourful festivals and sacred rituals.[2][3][4][5]
Stepwells, also called stepped ponds, built between the 5th and 19th centuries, are common in Western India; over 120 such wells are reported in the semi-arid region of Gujarat alone, of which the well at Adalaj is one of the most popular. Stepwells are also found in more arid regions of the Indian subcontinent, extending into Pakistan, to collect rain water during seasonal monsoons. While many such structures are utilitarian in construction, they sometimes include significant architectural embellishments, as in the Adalaj stepwell, which attracts a large number of tourists. In the past, these stepwells were frequented by travellers and caravans as stopovers along trade routes.[2][4][5][6]
The first rock-cut step wells in India are dated from 200-400 AD. Subsequently, the wells at Dhank (550-625) and construction of stepped ponds at Bhinmal (850-950) took place.[7]
The city of Mohenjo-daro has wells, which may be the predecessor of the step well; as many as 700 wells have been discovered in just one section of the city, leading scholars to believe that 'cylindrical brick lined wells' were invented by the people of the Indus Valley Civilization.[2][4][8] Between third and second millennium BC, at the 'Great Bath', at the site of Mohenjodaro of the Harappan civilization, filling of water was achieved from a large well located in one of the rooms in front of the open courtyard of the building–complex.[9]
While early stepwells were made of stone, later step wells were made of mortar, stucco, rubble and laminar stones. The well cylinder was the basic form used to deepen the wells. It is also inferred that the Stepwells in Gujarat have survived so long in view of the builder’s knowledge of the soil conditions and the earthquake proneness of the region.[10]
The well size recommended, based on considerations of stability, was of four to thirteen hasta (‘hasta’ a Sanskrit word, which means “forearm” of size varying from 12–24 inches (300–610 mm)), A size of eight hasta was considered ideal and a 13 hasta well was considered dangerous. However, the well thickness from top to bottom remained generally uniform.[11] By the 11th century, the step well planning and design acquired architectural excellence and the Hindu Stepwells were standardized.[12]
Adalaj Stepwell
Adalaj Step-well, an intricately carved structure, is one of the popular step wells in Gujarat. Built in 1499 by Queen Rudabai, this vav, as it is locally known as has served as a resting place for hundreds of years for many pilgrims is one of the best examples of architectural wonders in India. A popular destination located in Ahmedabad city and is situated 18 KM from the city.

7 Wonders of India: Adalaj Stepwell
Located bout 19 kms north of Ahmedabad, the Adalaj Stepwell is a five-storied step-well. This water work is an excellent blend of Hindu and Islamic styles. The step well is adorned with intricate carvings of leaves, flowers, birds, fish and other breathtaking ornamental designs. It was built in 1499 AD by Queen Rudabai. It served religious and utilitarian purposes for the people around though its origin is marred by tragedy. It used to be frequented by travellers and caravans as stopovers along their trade routes. There was a total difference of six degrees between the outside and inside of the well, thus making it a veritable air-conditioner.

Indian Food BUFFET at the Revolving Restaurant + Adalaj Stepwell UNESCO | Ahmedabad, India
Even though I have now spent a total of six weeks exploring India over two trips, I’ve still barely scratched the surface when it comes to the diverse foods, cultures, languages, and historical sites that make this country one of the most incredible travel destinations on Earth. In November of 2018, I got to explore seven amazing Indian cities with my travel buddy Sam from Samuel & Audrey, and we had the time of our lives!

With our first day in Ahmedabad underway, Sam, our new friend Rutu, and I continued our Gujarati adventures with a stop at an incredible local UNESCO World Heritage Site, followed by lunch at an amazing Indian food buffet! Come along with us as we continue our exploration of Ahmedabad!
My Film Making Kit ►
We started off at the Adalaj Stepwell, a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Site that is located just outside of Ahmedabad in the village of Adalaj. Ornately and intricately carved out of sandstone, the stepwell was built in 1498 by Queen Rudadevi to honor her husband, Rana Veer Singh of the Vaghela Dynasty, and to collect rainwater. It’s considered a stellar example of Indian architecture, and I can certainly understand why! We explored down below before going up top to take some photos and get some amazing views. It’s one of my favorite attractions I’ve ever visited in India! It’s truly a spectacular sight to behold.
On our way to our next destination, we rode through the down of Adalaj and saw lots of mud-and-brick homes and dairy businesses. Eventually, we arrived at Neelkanth Patang Revolving Restaurant, and it was a good thing, because I couldn’t wait to eat more Indian food!
The restaurant’s buffet (900 rupees per person, or $12-$13 U.S.) contained a variety of Indian dishes from different states and regions. We started off with a cool and refreshing watermelon juice before loading up our plates. On my first trip up to the buffet counter, I grabbed a flatbread called papad; a chickpea dish called channa chatpata; miniature pancakes with tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, onions, and coriander; coconut chutney; a thick sambhar; idli; a potato fritter called Batata Vada; a chickpea dish called chole bhature; a dish that looked like palak paneer; Rajasthani pitod ki sabzi; and paneer padam.
I started with the cauliflower chili starter at our table, which was crispy and extremely tasty; a minty paneer dish; and a veggie patty with mint chutney.
The Palak Paneer contained carrots and spinach and was delicious, and I tried one of the other paneer dishes with some ghee naan, which was fantastic. The idli, which is made from steamed rice batter, was nice and spongy, while the chole bhature was rich in flavor and full of spices! The mini pancake was incredible with the coconut chutney, and the batata vada was lightly deep-fried and still pretty soft. I went back to the naan for more of the paneer, followed by the crispy papad. I could see and feel the restaurant rotate as I ate!
By the time I finished my plate, I was pretty full, but our table had revolved around to the dessert area, so I grabbed one sweet and crispy jalebi and a spongy and syrupy rasgulla, which are my two favorite sweets I’d tried previously. I took a bite of each before combining them, which made for an intense and sugary combination! We then finished off our meal with a buttermilk drink called chaas, which is traditionally had after meals in Gujarat. It was sour, almost like curd.
What an incredible afternoon! I hope you enjoyed our Adalaj Stepwell visit and our mouthwatering Indian food buffet lunch! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment below.

Dada Hari Vav | Dada Hari Stepwell in Ahmedabad | 15th Century
Dada Harir Stepwell is a stepwell in Asarwa area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Built in sand stone in Solanki architectural style, the Dada Harir stepwell is 7 stories deep. It is octagonal (8-sided polygon) in plan at the top, built on intricately carved large number of pillars. Each floor is spacious enough to provide for people to congregate. It was dug deep to access ground water at that level, accounting for seasonal fluctuations in water level due to rainfall over the year. The air and light vents in the roofs at various floors and at the landing level are in the form of large openings. From the first story level, three staircases lead to the bottom water level of the well, which is considered a unique feature.
At the level of the ground, it is 190 feet long by forty wide. At the east end, from a domed canopy, a descent of eight steps leads to a covered gallery. A second flight of nine steps leads to another gallery, and a third of eight steps to the lowest gallery two or three foot above the level of the water. At each landing a corridor runs along the sides and leads to other galleries that cross the well at intervals.
Built along a East-West axis, entrance is from the East, the two spiral staircases are in West, near the well. The structural system is typically Indian style with traditional trabeat with horizontal beams and lintels. At the bottom of the well is a square stepped floor in the shape of a funnel extending to the lowest plane. This is chiseled into a circular well. Above the square floor, columns, beams, wall and arched openings spiral around; a feature that continues to the top. The top part of the well, however, is a vertical space open to the sky. The four corners of the square are strengthened with stone beams, set at 45 degrees angle. The motifs of flowers and graphics of Islamic architecture blend very well with the symbols of Hindu and Jain gods carved at various levels of the well. The dominant carvings on the upper floors are of elephants (3 inches (76 mm) in size, each of different design). The Islamic architectural style could be attributed to Sultani Dhai Harir who built it.

Adalaj Stepwell - Ahmedabad, Gujarat
The Adalaj step well or 'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories deep. It was built in 1498. The history of the Adalaj step-well is established by an inscription in Sanskrit found on a marble slab positioned in a recess on the first floor, from the eastern entry to the well. Its construction was started by Rana Veer Singh of the Vaghela dynasty of Dandai Desh. But he was killed in a war, whereafter the Muslim king Mahmud Begada of a neighbouring state built it in Indo-Islamic architectural style, in 1499.
The Sanskrit inscription in the stepwell describes.
