Walk through Adalaj Vav

Walk through Adalaj Vav

Thanks to arid regions in western India, we see lot of stunning stepwells in the state of Gujarat and Rajasthan, which were built with the intention to store rainwater for a longer period of time. Of all these stepwells, the one at Adalaj is of unique importance. The stepwell’s intrinsic carving is not the only thing spectacular about it, however the tale behind its creation is equally spectacular!

Built in 1499, the vav incorporates design elements from Hindu as well as Islamic architecture and is the only Vav with three different entrances that leads to main well. The beauty is still intact and the intrinsic details of the carvings have endured the time so beautifully that it still gives the feeling of amazement.
