It's an ancient 18th-century historical step-well which was designed by the queen of King Abhay Singh, Toorji, thereby satisfying the localsโ thirst and providing water for several ages. The historical step-well has a unique stone design with terraces and triangular stairs that sink at a step into the reservoir, creating an enchanted space. Currently, since the renovation and transformation, it has been transformed into one of the top sites for travelers and photographers in this desert town. The symmetry and superior skill employed in construction make it an apt tribute to the impressive architectural and engineering excellence that the state of Rajasthan cherishes. Surrounded by historic hotels, traditional homes, and charming cafes, the step well epitomises a beautiful coexistence of the past and the present. It is an absolute must-visit place for all those who are fond of architecture, photography or enjoy marvelling at historical engineering feats.
