Abhaneri - Looking Down the Depths of History

About the walk

Located two hours away from Jaipur, the medieval city of Abhaneri now lies in ruins.  Its history, however, refuses to be forgotten. The Chand Baori is a stepwell located at the centre of the site. Its architecture and sheer size are what make this stepwell one of a kind. Nearby is the Harshat Mata temple, which literally translates to ‘Goddess of Joy’. Although small in size, it remains an important monument and place of worship. A number of medieval Rajasthani sculptures have also been found there.

Abhaneri’s history remains largely unexplored. Through this walk we will examine Abhaneri and see Rajasthan anew. 

 

This guided tour is free.

In college, this history got a more academic edge separating fantasy from factually backed reality. My background suspended me in the world of folk while simultaneously grounding me in a factual discourse that helped me see history through a different…
