95 km from Jaipur is located the medieval Chand Baori (stepwell) at Abhaneri village in the Dausa district of Rajasthan. One of the most famous stepwells in the state, the intricately carved Chand Baori is one of India's largest and deepest step wells. With its haunting architecture, the stepwell is thirteen stories in depth with a maze of 3500 steps.  

Chand Baori is located in front of the Harshat Mata temple, which though in ruins, is known for its beautiful architecture.
