Chand Baori is an ancient stepwell located in the village of Abhaneri in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Built between the 8th and 9th centuries by King Chand of the Nikumbha Dynasty, it is one of the largest and most stunning stepwells in India. The structure features 3,500 narrow steps arranged in a perfect geometric pattern, descending 13 stories to reach the water at the bottom. The intricate design not only served as a water reservoir but also provided a cool retreat during the hot summer months.
