Famous Stepwell In Rajasthan

In this article, we will tell you about a Famous Stepwell In Rajasthan that everyone should see at least once in their lives.

Old Indian technology known as stepwells is quite uncommon and is today very well-liked by tourists in Rajasthan. Stepwells were initially constructed as a means of storing water, but they also used as cooling systems for air in palaces and forts. These systems' primary benefit is that they were built with an unconventional structure. The step-wells, also known as Baori, Baoli, or Vav in regional Rajasthani languages, are Indian architectural wonders that are mostly located in the state of Rajasthan.

Famous Stepwell In Rajasthan

Chand Baori, Abhaneri

The most popular stepwell in Rajasthan and the most well-known stepwell is Chand Baori near Abhaneri. King Raja Chanda is the source of the name. The top palace portion of Chand Baori was later constructed by Chauhan rulers, while the later upper arcade was constructed in the 18th century during the Mughal Empire. The earliest part of Chand Baori dates to the eighth century. It is renowned for its unique architectural design, which includes an impressive 13 floors, 3500 narrow steps, a deep, four-sided well, and a large temple on the back face of the structure. It is a historic Rajasthani stepwell that can be seen in Abhaneri, a small village some 94 kilometres outside of Jaipur.

Panna Meena ka Kund, Amer

The Panna Meena Ka Kundonce serves as a place for social gatherings in addition to serving as a point for access. A lot of tourists congregate around this historic and rustic stepwell to admire its magnificent design. Your attention will be drawn by the stepwell's symmetrical stairs, which drop up to eight levels. The steps' zigzag geometric design offers views of the magnificent mountains as well as the well-known Amber Fort and Palace. It is a joyful sight to see people jumping right into the kund if you visit the stepwell during the monsoon and summer seasons.

Hadi Rani ki Baori, Tonk

150 miles from Jaipur, in the Tonk area, is where you'll find Hadi Rani ki Baori. The three-story stepwell is yet another amazing piece of architecture in Rajasthan. Residents should visit the stepwell since it is kept up well and contains clean water. Locals and visitors alike continue to visit the stepwell, which dates back approximately 800 years. The building was built in Hadi Rani's honour. Local lore claims that Hadi Rani was Great Ratan Chudawat's wife and that the Mewar King had dispatched him to fight the Mughals. After being married, Ratan Chudawat was reluctant or unwilling to go to battle. In order to motivate her husband

Raniji Ki Baori, Bundi

The late Rani Nathavati Ji constructed the famed stepwell known as Raniji ki Baori in Bundi town in 1699. A well-liked location for social and religious gatherings, the baori featured a total of 50 stairs. The stepwell showcases the greatest of architectural splendour with a streamlined entrance and structures facing one another. The entrance's principal flanks are flanked by lovely pillars and a huge arching gate. You may find a place of worship on each floor by learning more.

Toorji ka Jhalra, Jodhpur

The intricate decorations on Toorji Ka Jhalra, which was constructed in 1740, are a reflection of earlier generations' way of life. The stepwell is a must-see location while seeing the city since it provides insight into Jodhpur's historical management practises. The stepwell is a renowned red sandstone structure that dates back 250 years. The 200-foot-deep Toorji Ka Jhalra was formerly embellished with elaborate sculptures of lions, elephants, and waterspouts. To escape Jodhpur's oppressive summer heat, locals go to the stepwell to play games.

Conclusion

This article has looked into the well-known stepwell in Rajasthan. The prominent stepwells included in this article, which are a significant component of Rajasthan's cultural legacy, provide light on its architectural, religious, and social significance.

The vanishing tribe of Stepwells, Baolis and Vavs in India

The vanishing tribe of Stepwells, Baolis and Vavs in India

Today, we speak with Victoria Lautman‘s whose incredible project on the step wells of India caught our eye. Her book The Vanishing Stepwells of India, was released in 2017 and will be released in paperback in near future. With an intention to raise awareness for India’s unique baolis and vavs, Victoria continues to work on her project. Here’s a brief of our detailed conversation.

Panna…

[travelure]

  Abhaneri Baoli – a 1000-year old architectural marvel

The first-ever Festival of Places (7-9 April 2017) is currently on in Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, New Delhi. Incidentally, I was invited to speak here on its inaugural day (7 April). The proposed topic was – ‘A Change in the way We Think, Talk and Use Public Spaces’. This article is a gist of my talk there. It uses Akko Crusader Fortress as an excellent example a deliberately designed repurposing of space.

Akko Crusader Fortress – Designed Repurposing of Space

As a Travel Photographer who aims to make destinations desirable, I look for beauty in a place. Mostly, this beauty is evident. In some cases, I have to unearth it, as it may not be that obvious.

I have travelled to numerous destinations – both, in India and abroad. I have noticed that the destinations sought after by travellers for their heritage and history have their own unique brand of spaces that attract.

Common sense tells me that when these spaces were created, they had a strong purpose that was relevant to the people of those times. Once the times change, many of these structures would lose their relevance.

For example, Baolis (Stepwells) were created as a place that helped harvest rainwater to meet a community’s needs. They also acted as “Facebook/Twitter/Social Media of that era where the community gathered for catching up on news.” – as quoted by Vikramjit Singh Rooprai, a heritage activist and a fellow speaker at ‘Festival of Places’.

Once that happens, a natural progression is these spaces are then re-purposed.

Let us take a look at some such repurposed spaces

Jantar Mantar, New Delhi was built in 1724. It is a set of 13 architectural astronomy structures. Its primary purpose was to track the timing and the movement path of various planets and stars. As times changed, this structure was no longer required to perform its mandated purpose.

Hence, the people in Delhi repurposed this space for various protests, simply because this space was close to the Indian Parliament building.

Anarkali Bazaar – a haven for souvenir-hunting tourists

Similarly, the UNESCO heritage site of Red Fort was built with an original purpose of fortification. Over the years, the task of such fortification became more sophisticated. It meant – defence forces that use myriad ways of securing the nation’s borders hijacked the original purpose of Red Fort.

Result? Red Fort was repurposed as a historically significant space. It started getting thronged by travellers interested in Nation’s glorious history. Additionally, the ramparts of this fort are used for the Independence Day speech of India’s Prime Minister.

Tourists at the Red Fort

Designed Repurposing of Spaces

There is nothing wrong if these spaces get repurposed; particularly, if it happens with a thought. And here, the thought cannot just be to protect a historical monument.

Such superficial reason to protect a heritage structure is unlikely to stop the ravages of times and communities. It is likely that sooner or later, such a structure will bite the dust, as the people of the vicinity would see no plausible benefit.

Here, a case in point is the ancient monuments of Delhi. Vikramjit, on his site www.monumentsofdelhi.com, pegs the total number of such historical monuments at 1317.

While a couple of hundred of these monuments are being looked after by the state government, records of Archeological Survey of India (ASI) show that ASI manages 174 of these.

But this number dwindled to 149 when ASI did a physical verification. It seems that the missing 25 monuments have been demolished and the people of the vicinity have repurposed its building material and location, as they saw no practical use of those old dilapidated structures (Data Source: The Times of India Archives, courtesy Dr Nalin Mehta, a fellow speaker at ‘The Festival of Places’).

Given this reality, it is imperative that if the governments wish to protect such spaces, they should now allow arbitrary or accidental repurposing of such spaces. They actually need to design a complete repurposing package.

Akko (Acre) Crusader Fortress

An excellent example of ‘repurposing with a clear design’ is the Akko Crusader Fortress. The Old Acre Development Company Ltd., a Government Company reporting into the Israel Ministry of Tourism, is managing this fortress. While it was accorded a UNESCO heritage site status in 2001, the excavations to unearth this Pompeii-like township continued. Its newly excavated areas were opened to the public in 2011.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The fortress has used dioramas, still and video projections, and life-sized statues in period costumes to bring the history of the place alive. These efforts help the visitors get a deeper understanding of the history of the crusader era Israel. A day visit to the Fortress costs 40 Shekels (approx. Rs. 800).

But this day visit is just a vanilla version experience of this fortress that has seen the knights jousting in its portals, kings plotting and annihilating enemies, prisoners who were condemned to the underground dungeons, and more.

The Royal Experience

Akko Fortress offers an embellished experience to visitors. Here, you may reserve a seat at the royal dinner table and dine with a make-believe King. This experience begins as soon as you arrive outside the fortress. Just outside the fortress, you are greeted with knights dressed in crusader era costumes, elegantly perched on their handsome steeds.

Once you enter the fortress building, a sommelier offers you a welcome drink of wine. Hostesses dressed in period finery usher you towards the royal dining hall. Along the path, you see the day-to-day happenings from the annals of history – slaves digging a tunnel, a wrongdoer being whipped by a prison guard, etc.

Furthermore, in the royal dining hall, you are made to doff a colourful paper crown and become royalty. As soon as you are seated, a troupe of royal entertainers waltzes in to regale you with their performances during the evening. Soon enough, you see entertainers of all hues – dancers, musicians, acrobats, jesters, fire dancers, and knights. And did I say there is a king too! This 2.5-hour dinner is rounded off with an exhilarating show of jousting!

This surreal experience costs the visitors 200 Shekels (approx.. Rs. 4000)

A jousting knight

The Advantages

This dining experience creates longer-lasting memories for the visitor and they get their bragging rights of having dined in a UNESCO heritage site. Naturally, it heightens their engagement with the fortress and helps them develop a better understanding of the history of medieval Israel. And of course, it helps the organisers bag 5x revenue!

For the local community, it brings in more travellers to their city for longer time – leading to more spending by the tourists. It also has generated a lot of direct and indirect employment for the residents in and around Akko. Surely that gets in more overall revenue for this small town. It has also given them a reason to be proud since the gushing travellers rate Akko as a ‘Must-Visit’ site in Northwest Israel.

The Festival of Places – A much-needed platform for dialogue on public spaces

So, what’s the point?

Nothing stops us in India to create such memorable experiences around these heritage spaces that may have lost their original purpose and relevance, but can still turn into a rich source of revenue for the community around these spaces. Such designed repurposing will truly be a win-win-win for all stakeholders.

Now, can you imagine the pull of a Royal Mughal Dining experience in Taj Mahal precincts or inside the fort walls of Red Fort? Additionally, can you imagine the revenue potential it offers the resource-starved government departments? Such experiences have a potential of enhancing India’s pull as a destination. And the visitors who experience it will not be wrong in flagging our country as ‘Incredible India’!

PIN IT!

Stepwells in Rajasthan

Stepwells were once constructed for the purpose of water storage and also doubled up as air conditioning systems in palaces and forts. What is striking about these systems is that they are built in a very unusual structure. Also called as Baori or Baoli or Vav in local languages, the step-wells are unique architectural pieces that you will come across especially in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The base of the stepwells in Rajasthan can be up to 10 degrees cooler than its surrounding areas, providing a cool respite from the hot weather conditions of the state. History buffs and travellers find these places very interesting given the semi-symmetry with which they are built. If you wish to visit them too, here is a list of stepwells in Rajasthan that you should know about: -

1.     Chand Baori, Abhaneri

Enough to give anyone vertigo with its 3500 narrow steps and astounding 13 storeys, the Chand Baori should be numero uno on your list. It is an ancient stepwell of Rajasthan that is situated in Abhaneri, a village located at a distance of 94 km from Jaipur. Constructed opposite to Harshat Mata Temple in the 800 AD, the stepwell was constructed by King Chanda of the Nikumbh Empire to solve the water crisis at that time.

2.     Panna Meena ka Kund, Amer

Apart from being a place for accessing water, the Panna Meena Ka Kundonce doubled up as a social meeting spot as well. The rustic stepwell makes for an interesting tourist spot where people come to admire the fascinating architecture. The symmetrical stairs that go down up to eight storeys are enough to enamour you with the way they are styled in the stepwell. While stepping on the zigzag geometrical pattern of the stairs, you can catch a view of the towering Amber Fort and Palace along with a gorgeous view of the mountains. If you visit the stepwell during monsoon, you can see people diving right into the kund which makes for a joyous sight.

3.     Hadi Rani ki Baori, Tonk

 Hadi Rani ki Baori is situated in the Tonk district, 150 kms from Jaipur. The three-storey stepwell is another architectural wonder that you can visit while you explore Rajasthan. A go-to spot for the locals, the stepwell is well-maintained with the water quite clean. Being an 800-year old stepwell, it keeps drawing the interest of locals and tourists alike. The place was built in the honour of Hadi Rani. If the story of the locals is to be believed, Hadi Rani was the wife of Ratan Chudawat who was ordered by the King of Mewar to fight against the Mughals. Ratan Chudawat was hesitant to leave for war right after marriage. In order to motivate her husband to fight in the battlefield, Hadi Rani got her head severed. Following this, Ratan Chudawat joined the war and tied her head around his neck by the hair and even won that day. However, he eventually severed his own head because he was not able to bear the idea of having to live without his wife.

 4.     Raniji Ki Baori, Bundi

 Constructed in the year 1699 by Rani Nathavati Ji, Raniji ki Baori is a famous stepwell in Bundi town. Having a total of 50 stairs, the baori was a famous meeting place for the locals for religious and social purposes. Showcasing architectural magnificence at its best, the stepwell has a sleek entrance with elephant structures facing towards each other. The entrance also has beautiful pillars and a huge arched gate. On discovering more you will also find a place of worship on every floor.

According to the history of the Baori, Rani Nathavati Ji devoted her life towards the well-being of common people and hence began the construction of the baori.

5.     Toorji ka Jhalra, Jodhpur

 Built-in the year 1740, Toorji Ka Jhalra showcases intricate designs that mirror the lifestyle of the generations gone by. Shedding light into the conventional water management systems of Jodhpur, the stepwell is a must-visit attraction while you tour the city of Jodhpur. Built with the popular rose-red sandstone, the stepwell is a whopping 250-year old structure. Being 200-feet deep, Toorji Ka Jhalra was once decorated with elaborate carvings of lions, elephants, and cow waterspouts. The stepwell is visited by locals for water games in order to get some respite from the hot summer weather of Jodhpur.

Each stepwell in Rajasthan has a unique tale to narrate that lets you peek into the history behind its construction. The intriguing architecture of these stepwells attracts several travellers to Rajasthan, which further highlights the fact that it is an architectural concoction like no other.

AGRA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS - THE UNKNOWN AND THE UNUSUAL - #travelure #travel

Agra and its surroundings – the unknown and the unusual

Much has been written about Agra. But I am still venturing to write this piece. My recent trip to Agra was to experience the unusual. Besides one customary visit to the Taj Mahal, the other activities were not what any tourist would normally…

[pinkpaperlantern]

A forgotten architectural wonder of India, the ingenious step wells. . Chand Baori is made up of 3,500 narrow steps over 13 storeys making it one of the deepest and largest stepwells in India. It's one of the most visually spectacular as well. . A necessity in a predominantly bone dry land, to guarantee a year-round water-supply for drinking, bathing, irrigation and washing, in the arid states of Gujarat (where they’re called vavs) and Rajasthan. (where they’re baoli or baori) Over the centuries, stepwell construction evolved and by the 11th century they were astoundingly complex feats of engineering, architecture, and art. This abstract print is inspired by the sharp angles and geometry of the well. . . . . #stepwells #stepwellsofindia #chandbaori #indianarchitecture #architecture #archilovers #indianart #graphicdesign #illustration #artprint #geometry #rajasthan #rajasthantourism #incredibleindia #travelprints #eyeforlondonprints #londonartist #brixton (at Bloomsbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG6lRpBU8I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=160xccypzami4

Chand Baoli, the mysterious stepwell of Rajasthan

Chand Baoli, the mysterious stepwell of Rajasthan

[ad_1] For many people, detours offer some of the greatest joys of road trips. To me, however, the unending traffic on Indian roads usually takes away from the pleasure of impulsively turning off one’s path and adding hours to one’s journey. Yet, last month, when on the road from Delhi to Ranthambore, a tiny dot on Google Maps caught my eye. I simply had to go there, even though the detour would…
