Description:
These wells which are deep are built mainly for harvesting rain water and save the parched traveler from dehydration. These wells have steps to reach down to the water which also provides the much needed shelter to the travelers in the extreme heat. The most popular one is the colossal step well, located in front of the Harshat Mata Temple. Chand Baori is one of India’s deepest and largest step wells. The huge tank with delicate carvings is certainly delightful to the eyes. It was a ritual to wash hands and feet before visiting the temple. Adjoining the Chand Baori, there is a temple, dedicated to Harshat Mata.
