Let’s travel together.

Abhaneri

620x400Located 90 km away from Jaipur, Abhaneri is known for two fine monuments of architectural significance, Harshat Mata temple and Chand Baori. This temple is a fine example of architectural brilliance of the eighth century. Although very much in ruins, the temple portrays the brilliance of the Pratihara sculpture. There is a huge tank (Chand Baori) opposite the temple, fortified on all four sides with bastions for defense. The staircase of this tank is so stunningly designed that a coin once dropped here is impossible to retrieve. There also exists a maze popularly known as Andheri-Ujali which extends a few kilometres into the Aravali hills. This maze served as a security measure in the past.
