Adalaj Wav is a fine stepwell located 19 kms north of Ahmedabad. The five storey deep step well was built by Queen Rudabai in 1499. The octagonal well has 3 entrances and the platform is supported by 16 pillars. The interiors of these step wells were cool and would provide respite from the soaring temperatures outside hence they were used as meeting and resting places by the locals.
The Adalaj Wav was an architectural splendour with intricate carvings and motifs of birds and flowers.
