Chand Baori, Rajasthan

Sunday, October 18, 2009

Built in the 9th century AD by Raja Chand, the magnificent Chand Baori in the village of Abhaneri near Jaipur, Rajasthan, combines Geometry, Engineering and Art. This stepwell features 13 levels and is 19.8 metres deep.

Despite being a structure of great historical importance, its upkeep leaves much to be desired.
