If you're looking for a way to get your bearings in the labyrinth of the Blue City, you need look no further than Bantu's insightful, friendly, illuminating walking tour. My wife and I loved getting to know Jodhpur through the eyes of a lifelong resident who is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about his hometown, while also being welcoming and hospitable to people from faraway lands. After the nearly 3 hours we spent with Bantu, we felt much more at home in this beautiful place and were excited to explore more. Plus, he introduced us to the best chai and samosas in town! Yum! A word of warning: this ambitious walking tour covers a lot of ground, so make sure you're prepared for almost 3 hours of walking, including some steep climbing. It's well worth it for the experiences you'll have and the memories you'll take away! Not to be missed! P.S. As of December 2019, Bantu doesn't have a website, but if you email him via TripAdvisor, he's very responsive and will get back to you with all the details right away.

The step wells were constructed in the southwestern region of Gujarat around 600 AD; from there they spread north to Rajasthan . Step wells still exists in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Delhi regions. However most of them are in ruins . They are known for unique, beautiful designs in architecture and remarkable in intricate carvings One such beautiful step wells known as Chand Baori which is oldest, largest and deepest (13 levels ) in this arid land of Rajasthan, Built in 9th century AD , by King Raja Chand of Gurjar dynasty. It is built in the city called Abhaneri ( city of brightness), next to Goddess Harshat mata temple . Harshat mata is know as a goddess of joy and brightness. Hence the connecting name of Abhaneri or Abha nagari and Chand Baori In ancient times, step wells were used as multi functional areas. It used to preserve water in months of summer, used as a means of rain harvesting, a place for meetings and socializing also to celebrate festivals and attend ceremonies. It was built near the temple and the ritual was to wash hand and feet in the step well before entering the temple of Godess Harshat mata for prayers. Harshat mata temple is dedicated to a goddess .Some believe that it is a Vaishnav temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu as well. The temple is in ruin condition but the carving on the pillars, shikhar and surrounding areas gives an impression of what it would have been as a living temple !! The temple and step wells are now a part of Archaeological survey of India. Abhaneri is about 90 kms from Jaipur and connects by road. There is nominal fee to visit the step well.

Nov 30th 2019...We were awestruck by the beauty of the temple ruins. It is a must visit. About 40kms from Barmer. A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva it is an ancient temples....the main temple has identical pillars with carvings of demons, elephants and statues indancing pose. The rocks are exquisitely carved and some beautiful patterns that can be traced for embroidery work are worth seeing. It is quiet peaceful and windy. We loved being there and saoaked the winter sun n enjoyed the calm winds . There is no crowd. So enjoyed the isolation. Restoration work is on. There are no guides so one has to interpret the carvings on their own. Visit it bfr it gets commercialized and touristy especially if you have a historical bent of mind. This is a monumental temple.
