Answer 1

The correct answer is Saraswati River.

Rani-ki-Vav, on the banks of the Saraswati River, was initially built as a memorial to a king in the 11th century AD. It is located in Gujarat.
It is an exceptional example of a distinctive form of subterranean water architecture of the Indian subcontinent.
This stepwell was built by the Solanki dynasty’s queen Udayamati in the 11th century as a memorial to her deceased husband Bhimdev I.
Over the years, as the Saraswati river changed its course, the massive structure was flooded and lay buried until its excavation by the Archaeological Survey of India in the late 1980s.
Rani-ki-Vav highlights the sanctity of water as it is designed as an inverted temple under the earth’s surface.

The new 100 rupee note (colored Lavender) features the motif of 'Rani ki Vav', Queen's Stepwell, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Gujarat's Patan.
