History and folklores are found in the heart of Rajasthan- a state with a rich culture, engaging histories and back stories with a splash of colors. The colorful state of Rajasthan conceals tales of royals, grandeur, and the occasional touch of the supernatural.<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Amidst this array of narratives, one story stands out \u2013 the story of Chand Baori, a colossal stepwell nestled in the remote village of Abhaneri.<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
A stairway to history<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Established between 800 CE – 900 CE by King Chanda of the Nikumbh Dynasty, Chand Baori is hailed as one of the oldest and largest stepwells globally. This architectural marvel, comprising 3500 steps and spanning 13 stories, serves as a testament to the ancient craftsmanship of Rajasthan.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n

However, the history of Chand Baori goes beyond its grandeur, delving into the realm of myths and mysteries.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
The Haunting of Chand Baori<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Folk tales say that this mammoth stepwell, seemingly impossible to construct within a human timeframe, was erected in just one night?! Locals attribute the creation of this step well to a <\/span>Djinn; <\/span>a<\/span> supernatural entity believed to possess magical powers.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Chand Baori, though recognized globally for its architectural prowess, does indeed carry an air of mystique that transcends its physical dimensions.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Stories from the Kingdoms of yore<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
As the legends go, King Chanda, driven by the immense need for a water reservoir, turned to black magic and sought the aid of a <\/span>djinn<\/span> to construct the grand <\/span>Baori<\/span>. The price for this mystical construction, however, was steep; as the <\/span>djinn<\/span> demanded the ruler’s kingdom.\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>A saint however, intervened in the king\u2019s dilemma, imprisoning the djinn within the depths of Chand Baori.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

The echo of this age-old pact resonates through the corridors, creating an aura of wonder, fear and trepidation. <\/span><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
A Paranormal investigator (if you believe in one, that is)\u00a0 Jay Alani, delved into the depths of the Chand Baori and had reported \u2018unusual sounds\u2019, adding a layer of mystery to the already enigmatic site.\u00a0 <\/span>The stories of hauntings persist, with locals recounting eerie experiences and whispers of unseen entities within the stepwell’s intricate maze.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
\n
“Whoever will enter this well will never return,”<\/span> a chilling reminder of the mysterious pact struck centuries ago.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Exploring Chand Baori<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n
Chand Baori is not just a colossally-made stepwell, but rather a journey through time, intricate art and of course , the purported whispers of gods, entities and rulers alike\u2026.<\/span><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\n
“The haunting beauty of Chand Baori lies not just in its architecture but in the ancient pact that binds it to the supernatural realms.”<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/h6>\n
With 3500 steps creating a quizzical labyrinth, the Baori reveals its secrets through intricately carved sculptures of Hindu deities.\u00a0 The green-hued water, the stone carvings, and the cool temperature at the well’s bottom paint a surreal picture.<\/span><\/h6>\n
