The Adalaj Stepwell, also known as Rudabai Vav, was commissioned by Queen Rudabai, wife of the Vaghela dynasty's Rana Veer Singh, and completed in 1498 CE. It is located in Adalaj village, Gandhinagar district, Gujarat, just off the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar highway.
The stepwell is a five-storey subterranean structure built from golden sandstone, with every level carved floor to ceiling with apsaras, elephants, lotus rosettes, the navagraha, the Tree of Life motif, and the faces of gods. Its architecture combines Hindu and Islamic decorative elements, characteristic of the transitional period during which it was built.
Maintained today by the Archaeological Survey of India as a protected monument, the stepwell remains one of Gujarat's finest surviving examples of vav (stepwell) architecture, valued both for its engineering as a water-harvesting structure and for its ornamental stonework.
