The Adalaj Stepwell is located in a serene location in the village, which was constructed centuries ago to provide water to its locals. It became a leisure place for people to meet and seek solace from the harsh summer heat. This place provided people with the opportunity to interact thereby serving as today’s community hall.

The village until now continues to gain recognition due to this majestic stepwell, which tourists from everywhere visit. In recent times, the place has gained a lot of traction for pre-wedding photography where couples love to get themselves clicked.

People are in awe of its ancient architecture, which has carvings that symbolize the union of Hindu and Muslim cultures. The intricate carvings beautifully depict the everyday life of people in some of the scenes. The stepwell is not just a well as the name suggests, it is located in a beautiful building that also consists of a carved balcony which is used as a backdrop for photographs. The building is three-storeyed with each having a balcony overlooking the well.

The view from the top is mesmerizing especially when the rays of the sun merge with the water. The water displays varied colors depending on the angle at which the sun’s rays are.

Never have I seen such wonderful shades of water. During each time of the day, the stepwell narrates a different experience. The mornings blissfully depict clear blue water, while the noons seem to tell a story of their own with birds gathered around and the water showcasing a greenish-blue color.

The evenings are more subtle where the water is sometimes yellowish. Each time you visit the place, you are sure to have a uniquely different experience. It is seemingly breathtaking and the place leaves one feeling intoxicated. The stepwell is a historical symbol of love as the queen ensured its completion after the death of her husband – The King.

It continues to remain a symbol of love as it is visited by couples in search of solitude who choose to spend time away from the hustle-bustle of the city. The stepwell has witnessed thousands of love stories of people from not just nearby places but from all across the globe. Even foreigners put this location on their list to visit here while visiting Gujarat, so I would like to call it a “multicultural heritage of love”.
