Jumping Stepwells.

Last Tuesday was Eid (the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan), so I had the day off from work. While Gujarat has a lot of religious tension, the state does “formally” honor religious freedom by declaring major Hindu, Muslim and Christian events as Holidys. My parents, my cousins, Harsh and Kanisha, and I went to the Adlaj stepwells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalaj), which were built in 1499AD and used to keep water cool. The wells are five stories in height and blend Hindu and Islamic architecture. At different points in the day, the sun makes incredible reflections on the water. Very cool.
