Visit to the Adalaj Stepwell near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India (November 19, 2017) — cseeman

I have traveled to India for the first to present a keynote at the 3rd Global Conference on Emerging Trends for Business Librarianship, November 21-22, 2017 at the Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad, India. I will also be attending the Asian business librarian meeting on Monday the 20th. Sunday the 19th of November we did some sightseeing and we visited the Adalaj Stepwell. Also known as the Rudabai Stepwell, it was built in 1498 by Rana Veer Singh of the Vaghela dynasty of Dandai Desh. From the Wikipedia, "The step well or 'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories deep. Such step wells were once integral to the semi-arid regions of Gujarat, as they provided water for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for colourful festivals and sacred rituals." Also, this "Built in sandstone in the Solanki architectural style, the Adalaj stepwell is five stories deep." Even had pictures of feral or free-ranging dogs at the park as well as the cattle that roam the streets. Pictures from Sunday November 19, 2017.
