English: Dada Harir Stepwell is an Heritage structure located in Asarwa area of Ahmedabad. The stepwell was built in 1485 by Dhai Harir, a household lady of Mahmud Begada according to the Persian inscription in the stepwell. She was the superintendent of the royal harem. Dhai Harir built a mosque and a tomb in which she was buried. The well bears two inscriptions, one in Sanskrit on the south, and one in Arabic on the north wall, of the first gallery. The name later corrupted into Dada Hari. It costed 3,29,000 Mahmudis (₹ 3 lakh) at that time. The ornate step-well has spiral staircases pieced into the sidewall of the well shaft and descending to the different platform levels. One of the numerous step-wells, dotting the heritage city, Dada Harir Ni Vaav is the deepest one. Some 9 floors underground, it is full of beautifully carved walls and columns.
