Chand Baori (Chand means "Moon" named after the king Raja Chand and baori means "Well") is a locally famous step-well situated in the village of Abhaneri near Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was built by Raja Chand or Chandra, a Nikumbha Rajput during 8th-9th century of Chahmana Dynasty who was ruling Abha-Nagari or Abaneri during that time. This is one of the earliest wells in Rajasthan.
This step well is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple and is also one of the deepest and largest step wells in India. It has 3,500 narrow steps and 13 stories and is 100 feet deep.

This type of well is also there in Adalaj...which is 12 kms from Ahmedabad on Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar high way..it is also an engineering marvel..but only thing is it is not properly maintained. The authorities should arrange lights as it is very dark even during the day...no doubt they are maintaining good lawns outside..a must watch fro tourists visiting Ahmedabad
thanks for reveling such a historical place and the nikumbh rajputs contribution in indian history.
