Rudabai stepwell aka Adalaj stepwell represents the strength, grit and undying love of Rudabai for her husband. She accepted the marriage proposal of Mohammed Begada after her husband Rana Veer Singh's defeat/death on the condition that this half built stepwell started by her husband be completed. Mohammed Begada accepted the condition, and on completion of the stepwell, Rudabai jumped into it. All she wanted was to fulfill her husband's dream. This stepwell is a fine blend of different architectural styles. The temperature inside the stepwell is 3 - 4 degrees less than outside.

Hey @PriyankaU,

Your photos are great! Thanks a lot for taking your time and sharing them with us!

For me it was nice to learn something new. Are there many tourists who come for a visit?

Thank you @KatyaL, yes it's a historical site built in 1498, many tourists visit this place every year.
