Adalaj: A Photo-essay

The Step-well ('Vaav') of Adalaj.
The vaav was built by Queen Rudabai, wife of Vaghela chief Virasimha in the year 1498.
The vaav is situated about 20 kms. from Ahmedabad (35 kms. from Maninagar). Take the Gandhinagar-Sarkhej highway towards Gandhinagar. Than take a left turn from Adalaj circle. The following are the pics from my recent visit to the place. For more info on the place, please go to the following links:
