Dada Harir Stepwell
દાદા હરિની વાવ
A five-story stepwell built in 1499 by a noblewoman of the sultan's court. It draws fewer visitors than Adalaj, and a mosque and tomb from the same period stand nearby.
Dada Harir Stepwell was built in 1499 by Bai Harir, a noblewoman of the court of Sultan Mahmud Begada. Its octagonal well mouth, multi-level stone pillars and carved balconies are similar in style to Adalaj. It is located in the Asarwa area of the city, however, where visitors are few and the atmosphere is quieter. Nearby stand her mosque and tomb. Admission is free. The site is surrounded by residential neighborhoods with narrow roads, so it is best to take a taxi directly.
