Stepwells have been developed since the third century A.D. and were an important source of underground water on the Indian subcontinent. Designed as an inverted temple, Rani ki Vav has seven levels of steps. The walls are decorated with beautiful sculptures that depict religious, mythological and secular themes. There are over 500 major sculptures and around 1 000 minor ones.Adalaj Step-well
