Adalaj Stepwell, located in the village of Adalaj near Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India, is an intricately designed stepwell that dates back to the 15th century. Built in 1499 by Queen Rudabai, the stepwell served not only as a water reservoir but also as a place of social and cultural gathering. The structure is five stories deep and is adorned with intricate carvings and elaborate architectural details. The stepwell is an excellent example of Indo-Islamic architecture, featuring a combination of Hindu and Islamic motifs. It is a testament to the region's rich history and the advanced engineering skills of the time.
