Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The beauty of the Adalaj ni Vav (Adalaj stepwell) has made the Gujarat Govt. take great care of it and also some facilities for the visitors are made available. This vav, situated at a distance of about 18km from Ahmedabad, was built by Rudabai in the memory of her husband Virsinh in VS 1499. This vav has five stories and three gates to enter it. Upon entry we get one Mandap with an eight-sided dome that has however by now broken down. The pillars are in good condition though. On both sides of the steps there are balconies with beautiful carvings. The rows of beautifully caved elephants mark the levels and provide illusion of mobility. There are several decorated 'gokh' or niches. The structure is about 84 m long. An inscription in Sanskrit provides with the information about the date of its construction etc. |
