ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In the heart of Rajasthan lies the ancient stepwell of Chand Baori, a masterpiece of geometric precision and spiritual depth. Built over a thousand years ago in the village of Abhaneri, this architectural wonder was designed not only to harvest water in a harsh desert climate, but to connect the earthly and the divine. With 3,500 narrow steps descending into darkness, it invites you to reflect on time, silence, and the beauty carved into devotion.
