Adalaj Step well is 18 Kms from Ahmedabad. The step well was built in 1498 AD by Ruda, wife of Vaghela chief Vairasimha.
This is what it looks from the top. Its on the ground level. On the left are my friends on top of the main entrance.
From the main entrance, the steps go down. Its a five storeyed structure and as we went down, it got cooler and cooler.
From the top, there are spiral stairs to go down.
There were lots of beautiful carvings on either sides of the steps that go down to the well.

There is a decently maintained garden both the sides. There were lots of changes from my previous visit. There were lots of visitors. There were some guides too. All good but I saw some Manikchand cover floating on the well water. I think they should stop the free entry and charge 10-15 Rs for a visit. That will stop idiots to use the well as a dustbin and also they will get some money to maintain it.
