Things to do in Chand Baori Abhaneri Stepwell in Rajasthan

In 1864, the famous French world traveler Louis Russett was washed on the edges surrounded by greenery, "covered with lotus in water, lotus water playing in which thousands of aquatic birds are playing". He was not describing the lake scene or one of the famous rivers of India, but an ancient well, which was large in the big pond.

In the northern Indian states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, the water problem is a depth. On the edge of the Thar Desert, the seasonal monsoon appears in the area, and then the water immediately disappears almost immediately. Regularly over 100 degrees in summer, and rope clay which does not contain water in ponds, local people and travelers need a practical solution with local business routes.

In the first century, the sloping edges of major rivers were made from the construction of ghats, long, shallow stairs and landing. The same approach was applied to the creation of a new type of well.

The earliest steps are most likely to be around 550 but in the most famous medieval period. It has been estimated that more than 3,000 stepped wells were built in two northern states. Although many have fallen into despair, were inclined at some point in ancient times, or were filled with garbage in the modern era, hundreds of wells still exist. In New Delhi alone, there are more than 30.

Chand Baori in Abhaneri near Jaipur, Jaipur is not the largest of Stepwell, the largest. It is probably the most visible spectacular: Chand Baori is a deep four-sided structure in which there is a huge temple on one face. Some 3,500 Ascher-esque steps have been taken from a depth of 100 feet to the depth of 13 feet from all three sides. The creation is the date of the 10th century, and the Goddess of happiness and happiness is devoted to Harshat Mata.

Water plays a special role in Hindu mythology, which is known as a pilgrimage between heaven and earth. As a man-made pilgrimage, steppe became not only a source of drinking water but also a peaceful sanctuary for bathing, prayer, and meditation. Wells are called by many names. In Hindu, they are Baori, Baoli, Baudi, Baawadi, or Bawadi. In Gujarati, spoken in Gujarat, they are usually called WAV.

The architecture of the well varies depending on the type and location, and when they were made. Two common types are one phase ponds, in which a large open top and graduation side meet relatively shallow depth. The stepwell type usually includes a narrow shaft, which is protected from direct or partial roof directly from the sunlight, which ends well with a deep, round shape. Beautifully carved temples and relaxation areas have been built in many wells. In his head, many of them were painted in bright colors of lemon-based paint, and now the marks of ancient colors that adorn the dark corners.

In the years of British rule, the use and usage of Stepwell began to decline, which were afraid of unhealthy conditions of these drinking water bath sites. They started installing pumps and pipes, and eventually stopped the use of stepwell in some places.

The remaining stepwell is in different states of conservation, and some have become dry. Local children begin to have terrible diving spots with water, which seem very dangerous.
