What you'll see

You will be picked up at your centrally located hotel in Jaipur area and will be taken to Abhaneri. In Abhaneri, only some portions of the ancient Harshat Mata temple remain now, such as the sanctuary walls, fore chamber and the terrace.

The worn out images of the deities indicate that the shrine was originally dedicated to the creator of Hindu trinity, lord Vishnu. The walls of the ancient shrine are carved with the images of the deities. The columns and walls of the temple are adorned with various scenes of music, sport, and dance and also love. A few of the panels of the temple have been shifted to amber and central museum, archaeological museum of Jaipur.

Near to the Harshat Mata shrine is the step well Chand Baoli, which dates back to the 11the century AD. This step well is considered to be one of the most beautiful, deepest, and largest step wells of India. Chand baoli is a unique invention of Abhaneri. These Baolis are not an ordinary structure, they were wonders of architecture. The Chand Baoli has panels that are beautifully carved and inserted in to the sides.

The stone carved pillars were very strong in the past and were once used to support pulleys for the purpose of drawing water. In the surrounding of this beautifully carved step well are several-storied verandas.

After sightseeing , you will have lunch and will drive back to Jaipur where you will be dropped at your hotel.
