Rani ki vav stepwell, Patan

From Wikipedia:

During the period of the Solanki or Chalukya, the stepwell called the Rani ki vav, or Ran-ki vav (Queen’s step well) was constructed. It is a richly sculptured monument.

 

It is generally assumed that it was built in the memory of Bhimdev I (A.D. 1022 to 1063), son of Mularaja, the founder of the Solanki dynasty of Anahilwada Pattan in about 1050 A.D. by his widowed queen Udayamati.
