Chand baori abhaneri - चाँद बाऊडी आभानेरी , Rajasthan, national heritage of india
Chand Baori is a stepwell situated in the village of Abhaneri
near Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
Abhaneri was originally named Abha Nagri, which means "city
of brightness," but due to mispronunciation, the name was
changed. The city is now in ruins, but it attracts tourists from
across the globe. It is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple
and was constructed in AD 800. Chand Baori consists of
3,500 narrow steps over 13 stories. It extends approximately
30 m (100 ft) into the ground making it one of the deepest and
largest stepwells in India.
