Adalaj step well best example of indo islamic architecture.
Built in : 1499
Built by : Rani Roopba
Location : Adlaj (Gujarat)
AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL
The five-storied, step-well located in the sleepy village of Adlaj is a marvel of architecture. This unique water work is an excellent blend of Hindu and Islamic styles. The intricately carved monument served religious and utilitarian purposes of the people around though its origin is marred by tragedy.
