The Hidden Stepwell & A Dancing Goddess

On my way to the stepwell, I stumbled upon an ancient Hindu temple. Though I didn’t climb up (who has the energy to keep removing shoes at every shrine? 😅), I captured a magical moment—a scarlet-clad devotee spinning like a flame before the sanctum. 🔥📸 🏗️ That Baffling "Tower" The structure left me speechless—its spiral "staircase" was just stone slabs jutting out from a central pillar! Climbing it felt like scaling a giant’s spine. At the summit, our reward: 💦 The Secret Stepwell Petite but perfect: Though modest in size, its emerald-green waters still mirror the arched colonnades Guardians of the Deep: Four pavilions stood sentinel, each manned by a watchful attendant ensuring no one descended (safety first! ⚠️)Architectural wit: The steps cleverly narrow as they descend, creating an illusion of infinite depth 🌿 Why This Place Charms Unlike Rajasthan’s grand stepwells, this hidden gem felt frozen in time—no crowds, just the whisper of wind through its geometric corridors. The real showstopper? That lone saffron flag snapping against the blue sky, marking where earth meets eternity. #travel guide#trip diaryI#India guide#India travel#ForgottenWells #India#Adalaj
