Chand Baori is a well built more than a thousand years ago in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan.
It is one of the largest stepped wells in the world and also one of the most beautiful.
Located in the eastern part of the province of Rajasthan, it was built by King Chanda somewhere in the ninth century.
The Chand Baori is not an easy reference point to find, therefore, it is one of the hidden secrets of India!

By the name of "bâori" is known the wells or staggered cisterns that have several terraces joined by flights of stairs that connect their different levels of depth, serving both religious and spiritual purposes, with various temples attached, as to supply of water during the dry season. The stepped cistern of Chand Baori is located in the town of Abhaneri, a small town that barely exceeds a thousand inhabitants in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and is believed to have been built in 800 AD by King Chand of the dynasty Chahamana, constituting one of the largest and deepest baoris in India.

Chan Baori has almost twenty meters of depth and thirteen staggered levels that are organized on its square floor. Most of its surface is integrated by its endless stairs, thousands of steps that descend through its floors to the central pit that acts as a gigantic funnel damming the rainwater, adding a total of three thousand five hundred steps and integrating a fantastic vision that seems to confuse our senses, caressing surrealism. The entrance to this unlikely structure is on the north side, where there were also several temples consecrated to Ganesha and Durga, which are now venerated in a small adjacent chapel. Unlike other baoris, the upper floor is surrounded by a beautiful gallery of arcades, with bathrooms for men on the left and one for women on the right side.

The access to the stepwell is done through the entrance that we will find in the northern part of the place. Next to this threshold are also a balcony and several shrines and temples, in which in the past several images of the gods Ganesh, Mahishasuramardini and Durga were located. Today these sizes can be found in a chapel that is located outside the well, next to its access area.

Once inside we will realize that the true shape of the Chand Baori well is inverted cone. In one of the sides several temples were built where rituals and ceremonies were performed; and a series of rooms, which served as services and dining rooms. As we can commprobar this place served both for religious acts, as to eat and supply the population with food and water during the hardest times of the year.
