It was a great experience, visiting the ancient stepwell. It is one of the protected heritage monument by Archaeological Survey of India. It was built inbetween 8th - 9th century. It 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.

One of the extraordinary marvels of ancient India. A must visit place. Largest stepwell in the world. This architecture will leave you amazed the craftmanship is astonishing. Felt bad when you see those broken statues. Aurangzeb destroyed this place as well but he could not destroy the heritage.

Chand Baori is said to be named after a local ruler called Raja Chanda.[4] However, no epigraphic evidence has been found regarding the construction of the Chand Baori or the adjoining Harshat Mata Temple. Based on similarities in style and carvings with the terraced temples of Paranagar and Mandore, the Baodi can be dated to 8th-9th century.[5] It was likely constructed before the temple.[6] The Chand Baori is one of the few stepwells that has two classical periods of water building in a single setting, according to Morna Livingston in Steps to Water: The Ancient Stepwells of India.[1]The oldest parts of the step-well date from the 8th century onwards, An upper palace building was added to the site, which is viewed from the tabulated arches used by the Chauhan rulers and the cusped arches used by the Mughals. Access to these rooms is now blocked for tourists.[1] The upper stories with the columned arcade around it were built around the 18th century during the Mughal era.[7] The Mughals also added art galleries and a retaining wall around the well. Today, there are remains of old sculptures and carvings, which were suggested to be in the temple or in the various rooms.[1] The nearby Harshat Mata Temple was a pilgrimage site and formed a complex together with the well. Many of these stepwells, including Chand Baori, served multiple purposes including drawing water and religious or ceremonial activities.[3] This unique form of underground well-architecture remains constant from the 7th century in the existing monument.[3] Excavated stones of the temple are now kept by the Archaeological Survey of India in the arcades of the well. Chand Baori plays an important part of the main current of architectural activity in western India.

One of the best historical place I have visited in my whole life. Last year I have been to this place, I was completely surprised with the precise, accurate and expert alignment of the stairs. I was completely lost, and shocked with the talent the workers possessed during that period of time. I think it is 1000 years old, but due to poor maintenance the historical site is losing its charm.

A very beautiful place, must visit.Marvelous architecture and the steps are in such a pattern which gives an optical illusion.Also there is a ancient temple next to baori, it was destroyed by mughals, but the remains are kept there.Its remote, but worth a visit.Also, u wont be needing a guide, can just give a Google search and the very same thing guide will be saying.

Chand Baori is a major tourist attraction site in Abhaneri village that belongs to 10th-century monuments that showcase Rajasthani architectural expertise and talents. With steps on the three sides that lead to the water reserve, the stepwell is more than 13 storeys deep and is adorned with more than 3500 steps. In spite of it being more 1000 years old, it has remained in a remarkable condition.

This is a very old and important monument and not to be missed if one is visiting any area in the vicinity. It takes hardly 20-minutes even if you hire a guide. This is an engineering marvel of the era gone by and also an evidence of the foresight and science of that era , its rulers and the artisans. Must visit.It would be worthwhile if the ASI managing this open some more areas to tourists which are currently blocked and to make better signboards outside for parking and entrance etc.

Chand Baoli is a great place of you are monument lover and admirerIt has optical illusion and youll be mesmerized after watching this.The guide will tell you about the Baoli.Fee for guide is Rs.100.Theres a Hanuman temple inside the Baoli.The only disadvantage here is that you cannot go down in Baoli due to safety issues.But the guide told us that it is opened one a year for a program in July or August and people dive in the water ,so you should plan your trip on that day!If you are going to Jaipur please go here.Its not so far and the village abhaneri is peaceful, beautiful and nice.

Chand baori was made around 8th century AD and is situated in the middle land between two rivers which are almost dried. The architecture is symmetric and the theme used is spiritual and the sculptures has God, Goddess and yoga postures embedded in it. There is a hidden passage in it. There is always some water present in it from ages and not dried-up since time immemorial.The nearby place which is also famous for tourist attraction is Bhangarh Palace- The most haunted fort of the world.

True piece of HistoryChand Baori at Abhaneri (about an hour from Sariska Tiger Reserve) is one of the rare finds where you are glad you went.Its a true piece of history thats frequented by very few tourists / travelers. If you are doing a tour to nearby places such as Sariska tiger reserve / Alwar / Bhangarh fort, do visit here.There is also a 8th century temple just beside the Chand Baori complex, thats also a site worth visiting.P.S. If you are visiting Abhaneri, do visit the Abhaneri Arts and Crafts place a few hundred metres away where you get traditional handloom products.

Review №36

The Chand Baori is a stepwell built over a thousand years ago in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan.It is one of the largest stepwells in the world and also one of the most beautiful ones.Located in the eastern part of the province of Rajasthan, it was built by King Chanda somewhere in the 9th century.The Chand Baori is not an easy landmark to find, thus it is one of the hidden secrets of India!Stepwells, also called bawdi or baori, are unique to this nation. The wells have steps built into the sides that lead down to the water.Chand Baori one was built during the 8th and 9th centuries and has 3,500 narrow steps arranged in perfect symmetry, which descend 20m to the bottom of the well.Centuries ago, the stepwells were built in the arid zones of Rajasthan to provide water all year through.Today, the construction is not used as a well anymore but its exquisite geometry attracts local and international visitors alike.About 64 feet deep, it is Indias largest and deepest stepwells with 13 floors and was built in the 9th century for water harvesting.Chand Baori inside viewIt was so named as it was built by King Chand Raja from the Gujara Pratihara clan, who claim to be the descendant of Lord Rams younger brother Laxman.The Pratihara dynasty was at their peak during 6th-10th century AD, and also ruled over other parts of Rajasthan. Their capital was Mandore near Jodhpur.The baori has a precise geometrical pattern, hard to find in this age.The steps form a magical maze and the consequent play of light and shadow on the structure gives it a captivating look.It has an enclosed rectangular courtyard kind of structure. Upon entering you reach a jharokha (windows).Descending the stairs on the left, you can see the cavernous baori narrowing towards the bottom, criss-crossed with double flights of steps on three sides to reach the water surface down below.The stairs encircle the water on the three sides while the fourth side boasts of a pavillion with three storeys with beautiful carved jharokhas, galleries supported on pillars and two projecting balconies enshrining beautiful sculptures.

Chand baori or Abhaneri is a decent place to visit on a cool day. The step well is beautiful and is a nice place to click photographs. But there can be few more attractions added as it is a small place and far from City area so you might want to spend more time there but you got nothing else to do. . .

One of the largest and deepest stepwells of India (I think Largest in the world also) with around 3500 Steps built over 13 stories..Not allowed to go on the steps as it is risky.Parking is kind of not available. Have to park around the local shops only.Beautiful stepwell to visit and click photos.Also considered Haunted since it is believed to be built in a single day by Jinn.Little detour from Agra Jaipur National Highway if coming from Jaipur..Otherwise have to take Delhi Alwar Road and cross Alwar fo reach Abhaneri where this is located.

Chand Baori is a deep four-sided well with a large temple on the back face of the building. The basic architectural aspects of a monumental well consist of a long corridor of steps leading to five or six story below the ground level which can be seen at the site.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.The state of Rajasthan is extremely arid, and the design and final structure of Chand Baori was intended to conserve as much water as possible. Ancient Indian scriptures made references to construction of wells, canals, tanks and dams and their efficient operation and maintenance. This site combined many of these operations to allow for easy access to local water.At the bottom of the well, the air remains 5-6 degrees cooler than at the surface, and Chand Baori was used as a community gathering place for locals during periods of intense heat. One side of the well has a haveli pavilion and resting room for the royals.

What an amazing step well, not much around this area except the step well, however worth a visit to the Abhaneri Step well.They say that there is a network of tunnels that connects this step well to Jaipur.Its around 90 kms from Jaipur with approx 2 hrs drive one way. Plenty of parking space available.Best to visit in the winter months as all of it is in open with hardly any shade on the top. If you plan to visit it during Summers, ensure you carry your own water and stay hydrated.

This is an ancient stepwell situated in Rajasthan India. Which was built by King Chand (Chandra) of Nikumbha dynasty during 8th - 9th century. This is 19.5 metres deep. The architecture of this well is so attractive and beautiful. This well equipped with the finest artefacts is very beautiful. A lot of foreigners come here to see this well. I suggest you visit this place in winter or spring season because the temperature is too high in summer. There is a nominal charge or ticket to visit this place.

An amazing time I spent here. Baori is really amazing and the best Baori I have ever visited in my life.-There is no tickets to enter inside the Baori till now.- There are railings they have for safety and other reasons and you wont be allowed to go after railings.- Guide is available on the entrance if someone wants to take a guide but I wont recommend to have any guide.- There is small but beautiful guide in the Baori Gates but just before the entrance where you can have a good time and can enjoy home made food with your family and friends.- People are humble there and very supportive.- You will not see any baggers there.- Most important thing is you have to park your vahicle on your own risk because there is no parking facilities provided by local authorities or Rajasthan Tourism.
