Chand Baori - The Deepest Stepwell in the World

Chand Baori is a famous stepwell situated in the village Abhaneri near Jaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan.
The Chand Baori, a vast well with flights of steps on three sides, is a 10th century monument situated in Abhaneri.

It is a fine example of the architectural excellence prevalent in the past.
This impressive step well is as deep as a seven story building.
The famous Harshat Mata temple situated opposite to this well shows that there must have been a religious connection with the step-well.
The well is 35 m on each side with steps leading down from each side and water can be drawn from any level.

It has so many steps that it is impossible for someone to retrieve a coin once it 's been dropped in the well.
