Adalaj Stepwell, Stepwell in Adalaj, India
The Adalaj Stepwell extends five stories underground with an octagonal design, featuring stairs that lead to water through multiple levels of carved stone structures.
Built in 1498 under Rana Veer Singh and completed by Mohammed Begada, this water reservoir represents the architectural achievements of the Vaghela dynasty in Gujarat.
The walls display intricate stone carvings depicting Hindu and Islamic motifs, including elephants, flowers, and geometric patterns that tell stories of daily life.
Located 18 kilometers north of Ahmedabad, the stepwell remains open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily and maintains temperatures six degrees lower than outside.
The structure contains an inscription about Queen Roopba, who supervised the construction and demanded its completion before considering marriage to Mohammed Begada.
