Abhaneri (Chand Baori)

The World's Deepest Stepwell — A 9th-Century Engineering Marvel

About

Discover Abhaneri (Chand Baori)

Abhaneri, a small village 95 kilometres east of Jaipur, contains Chand Baori — one of the largest and most spectacular stepwells in the world. Built in the 9th century, the stepwell descends in a precise inverted-pyramid geometry: 3,500 narrow steps arranged in perfect symmetry across 13 storeys, plunging 20 metres to the water below. The scale and mathematical precision of the construction are breathtaking; the quality of the stone carving on the surrounding galleries is exceptional. Chand Baori sits adjacent to the Harshat Mata temple and makes a natural and rewarding stop on any route between Jaipur and Agra or Bharatpur.
