History
Abhaneri is less than 2 hours drive away. The stepwell, Chand Baori, is a square shaped well, fairly deep possibly the deepest stepwell in Indo-Pakistan region, with thousands of steep steps on three sides and a deep green pool at the bottom. The adjacent temple is presursor of Khajuraho style by 200 years.

I've seen pictures of this place before, but I'm lways glad to see this amazing place.
You are fortunate to be able to see and share such fantastic things.
Have a great week and thank you for sharing!
Fascinating stepwell, I've never been to one before. Lovely old carved statues and patterns. Thank you for sharing these fabulous images.
What an interesting place. Thanks for sharing this.
What an amazing place! I'd never heard of a stepwell before, and totally enjoyed the introduction.
Is the stepwell used for religious observances? I'm guessing that it has some spiritual meaning. The pool of green does not seem to be for bathing.
the top photo looks like a graphic design. & I love the color of the deep green well. lovely!
Does those stepwell actually lead to somewhere?
Love the statue and carvings! All absolutely gorgeous~
Abhaneri is very interesting.
The temple is wonderful.
The pictures are fantastic.
What a trip ...
Hugs and a great week.
When will be the time come for me to visit these incredible places you show...waiting for my kids to grow up a little more...Great pictures..the place has come up alive.
There was a lot of intricate work done in the details of all these things. Great shots. Helen

Amazing stepwell! This place is awesome. Is the green of the pool caused by algae? How deep is it?
Pretty places… congratulations friend!
A kiss and excellent night for you.
Your photos never fail to amaze me. It seems there is an infinite wealth of beauty and history in your country.

@Prospero:No,This step well was basically made by the Ghosts and Not by the men's and that too in a single night.This water was used to worship God.
@Ladyviral:These step Wells leads to no where .This well is around 200 Feet deep.
@Buenos Aires Photoblog :Yes this green part is algae.
i WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS THE SAME WELL THAT WAS FEATHURED IN A PREVIOUS POST OR AM I MISTAKEN?
THANKS FOR SHARING. PEACE

This city must be very interesting to visit. Look at all the stairs, I guess you must be tired if you try to walk them all:-) The water is also very, very green.
I was at this magic place, but your photographs brought so many memories back. What a fantastic, truly fantastic site!
just overwhelming.
abhaneri...wow..2 hrs frm jaipur?
lovely yaar...thanx for sharin this...
At first your photograph of the stepwell looks like a geometric print – then one realizes the depth of the well. Quite a wonderful place and with so much history. I am pleased to have seen it on your blog as I was not aware of it.
Great photos :)
Coolest steps ever. Who is/are the goddess(es)?
I am in awe! I've never seen anything like this. What an incredible design and sculptures...it's just amazing!
I loved your trip too.

nteresting and well captured.
Thanks for your visit and kind comments.
It all looks very mysterious and intriguing. The steps are wonderful. They remind me of an M.C. Escher print. Thanks for the photo tour.
I don't know what a step well is but I will look it up. This is a beautiful place. I love the ornate statues. In this modern age it seems things are built for functionality rather than beauty. Thanks for sharing the beauty.
Beautiful step well and sculptures. I missed this on my last trip.
Thank you for your comment destined to my blog. I am so sorry though that as I was reading it my cat jumped near me and moved my hand so that instead of clicking on Publish, I clicked on Reject. I tried to get your comment again, but could not. I can write it in the comment page under Anonymous and add your name if you like, or you could send it again. This has never happened to me and I am sorry it happened to your comment as I am so grateful that you take the time to read my post.
Incredible visit to this part of your country. So much to see here each time I visit your site!
