Deepest Well

Chand Baori - The Deepest Stepwell
Well in the World


Chand Baori is a famous stepwell
situated in the village Abhaneri near
Jaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan.

The Chand Baori, a vast well with
flights of steps on three sides, is a
10th century monument situated in
Abhaneri. It is a fine example of the
architectural excellence prevalent in
the past. This impressive step well
is as deep as a seven storeyed
building. The famous Harshat Mata
temple situated opposite to this well
shows that there must have been a
religious connection with the
step-well. The well is 35 m on each
side with steps leading down from
each side and water can be drawn from
any level.

Legends say that ghosts build it in
one night and that it has so many
steps to make it impossible for
someone to retrieve a coin once it's
been dropped in the well.
