Toorji Ka Jhalra is among the greatest architectural wonders in Jodhpur, which has served exceptionally in conserving water in Jodhpur. It's an ancient 18th-century historical step-well which was designed by the queen of King Abhay Singh, Toorji, thereby satisfying the locals’ 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.
