Jaipur: Panna Meena Ka Kund
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 07:00 - 18:00
The Vibe:Geometry, cut in stone and repeated downward.
Built in the sixteenth century below Amer, this stepwell supplied water to the village and served as a cool gathering place in summer. It is one of the best preserved of the small kunds around Jaipur.
Sound drops away as the walls step down towards green water. Criss-crossing staircases pull the eye into a pattern that changes with every angle.
