Adalaj Stepwell is a unique Hindu'water building' in the village of Adalaj, close to Ahmedabad town in Gandhinagar district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The stepwell was built in 1499 by Muslim king Mohammed Begda for Queen Rani Roopba, wife of Veer Singh, the Vaghela chieftain. The step well or'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories in depth. Such step wells were once integral to the semi arid regions of Gujarat as they provided basic water needs for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for colorful festivals and sacred rituals.


Stepwells, also called stepped ponds, built between the 5th and 19th centuries, are common in the west of India; over 120 such wells are reported in the semi-arid region of Gujarat alone, of which the well at Adalaj is most popular. Stepwells are also found in more arid regions of the 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 Adlaj stepwell, which attracts a large number of tourists. In the past, these stepwells were frequented by travelers and caravans as stopovers along trade routes.


The Adalaj step-well is a popular tourist attraction of the Ahmedabad city and is situated 18 kilometres(11 mi) north of the city.[5] It is 5 kilometres(3.1 mi) from Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat.


Ahmedabad is well connected by road, rail and air links with the rest of the country. The international airport at Ahmedabad, known as the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport, has flights operating to several countries. Kalupur is the railway station closest to the stepwell.


its a verry good and historical place to visit for your general knowledge who like to visit historical places

Stepped well with beautiful architecture

Adalaj Stepwell is situated in adalaj  town of Gandhinagar, gujrat. When I was on the tour of gujrat  with my three friends, we visited adalaj step well . there are so many step wells in gujrat but adalaj step well is the most famous step well. We reached the destination through the cab which we have booked from Ahmadabad.


It was a good experience to watch a historical step well.  it was a beautiful stepwell with indo- Muslim architecture.


As the guide told the story about the place that this stepwell was made buy a Muslim ruler Mahmud begada for the queen  of Hindu kind veer singh. Mahmud begada attcked to rana veer Singh's kingdom and killed him in war, then he so impressed with the beauty of veer Singh's queen and given marriage proposal to her, she agreed with a condition that she will be his wife if he will complete the well, Mahmud begada agreed he built the well in indo- Muslim architecture and after the completion of step well the queen came to well and jumped into the well as she didn't wanna marry to Mahmud begada, she just want to complete the construction of well which started by her husband. The stepwell was about five storeyed. The story of queen was depicted in walls of well. It was a beautiful well with inscriptions on the walls of well .I suggest that if you are interested in history then must go adalaj step well
