The Pool Transformed from Indian Stepwell



Jodhpur stepped well - the real version of the Monument Valley, as the most intelligent invention of ancient Indians, the stepped well has become a beautiful scenic spot in North India. Like the Taj Mahal, it is one of the landmark buildings that must punch in in India. The stepped water well in India is different from the cylindrical water well we usually see. The water well in India is like an inverted pyramid. There are many steps on the walls around the water well, which are staggered in height and have a great sense of geometric art. The dilapidated wall aggravates the sense of history of the stepped water well. The majestic architectural appearance is equipped with orderly step lines, It feels more like a work of art than a well. What we usually call "sitting on a well and watching the sky" is not applicable to Indian Wells at all. The word "there is a hole in the sky" is more suitable.


The moon well was built between 800 and 900 ad. the reason for the construction of this well is that Rajasthan is located near the desert. The climate is extremely dry, hot in summer and cold in winter. In order to avoid water shortage, the king at that time ordered to build a square with a side length of 19.5 meters and dig underground. There are 3500 steps inside, A well extending 30 meters down in an inverted triangle.
