Excursion to two historic stepwells from Ahmedabad city. Rani ki Vav (the Queen’s Stepwell) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This stepwell is adorned with numerous panels with fascinating sculptures and pillars with intricate carvings. Also, the Adalji stepwell is octagonal in shape and supported by intricately carved pillars.
Set in the quiet village of Adalaj, 19 km from Ahmedabad, this step well or ‘vav’ has served as a resting place for many pilgrims and caravans along their trade routes. Built in 1499 by Queen Rudabai, wife of the Vaghela chief, Veersinh, this five-storey stepwell was not just a cultural and utilitarian space, but also a spiritual refuge. It is believed that villagers would come everyday in the morning to fill water, offer prayers to the deities carved into the walls and interact with each other in the cool shade of the vav. The stepwell has three entrance stairs and is a spectacular example of Indo-Islamic architecture and design with intricate Islamic floral patterns and Hindu and Jain symbolism.
