Wonders Of India - Chand Baori

Like Many Other Westerners

I suspect not many living, raised, and educated in the Occident have ever heard of this place? We may be familiar with Egyptian treasures and with Latin American pre-Columbian cultures, but India? Sure we all know the Taj Mahal and perhaps a few other places. Perhaps we like Indian food.

Chand Baori – The Deepest Step Well in the World


Thanks to the Bing search engine, which presents a new picture every day, I saw a picture of this architectural wonder a few days ago. Please google or bing it to learn more about it! This well was constructed between 800-900 AD, it is about 100 feet deep and has about 3,500 steps. It looks amazing almost like an upside down pyramid. J
