The Queen's Stepwell on the Hundred-Rupee Note Rani ki Vav ('the Queen's Stepwell') is an 11th-century subterranean stepwell in Patan, Gujarat, India, built around 1063 by Queen Udayamati in memory of her husband, the Chaulukya king Bhima I. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014, it is an inverted temple over seven storeys, carved with more than 500 principal sculptures, many depicting Vishnu's ten avatars, and over a thousand minor ones.
January sits in the peak golden triangle window for Patan, 10 to 22°C, dry, possible morning fog (esp. Delhi), with soft, golden, low sun, best taj sunrise window. High, Taj slots fill weeks ahead. Build a fog-buffer day for Delhi arrivals.
For the Rani ki Vav specifically, hours: sunrise to sunset (approx. 8am to 6pm). We sequence the visit for the prime hour and avoid the worst conditions January brings to Patan.
Around the monument visit, the January Patan circuit is built to the season, pacing, stays, dining, and contingency tuned to the conditions rather than fought against.
