The lesser known attractions of Dausa (Part-2) --- Chand Baori – Oldest , deepest & largest step wells (Baori / Baoli)



After visiting Harshat Mata temple , we left to Chand Baori/ Step well which is adjacent to the 
temple. 




I have seen many Baoris/ Step wells but Chand Baori/ Step well is one of the most beautiful , well maintained  Baori/ Step well. It is the oldest, deepest & largest Baori/ Step well of India.

The lesser known attractions of Dausa (Part-1) --- Harshat Mata - Goddess of joy


Everyone looks forward to play Holi as they find this colourful festival quite exciting but I generally try to avoid the festival as it does not excite me and I am allergic to colours also. This time there was a long break during this “Holi”so my passion of ghummakri (Traveling ) was aroused in me. 



So my great Ghumakkar (Traveller) friend Amit and I planned to visit some of the less explored places of Rajasthan. After a lot of brainstorming we decided to visit beautiful & well maintained Chand Baori – Abhaneri, ruined Dausa fort, Lohagarh fort – Bahartpur & deeg fort & deeg Palace.
