Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell Day Trip from Jaipur

The village of Abhaneri is believed to be established by the King Raja Chand. Originally Abhaneri was named as Abha Nagri, which means the city of brightness, but due to the mispronunciation of the term, it is changed to the present name. Step wells are the unique concept of India. These big tanks were used as cool places of resort and water reservoir in parched days. It was a ritual to wash hands and feet before visiting the temple. Adjoining the Chand Baori, Chand Baori is one of the oldest and most attractive landmarks in Rajasthan. It was built by King Chanda of the Chauhan Dynasty between AD 800 and AD 900  and was dedicated to Hashat Mata, Goddess of Joy and Happiness upon completion. Abhaneri is a village in the Dausa district of Rajasthan state in India.
