The Moon Well is the largest stepped well in India. The well was built in the 9th century AD, with a depth of 30 meters. There are 13 layers of stairs next to it, with a total of 3,500 steps. Looking at the exquisite carvings of the arched cloister, it looks like an ancient underground palace, but it is actually a thousand-year-old water well. , which tourists call the "upside-down pyramid". The purpose of the stepped well is to store water, and at the same time, it can allow people to easily access the water source. Usually, there will be a gate at the bottom of the stepped well to raise the water level, and the water level will be raised to the 3rd-4th floor in the season when water is needed. The incredible thing is that the well was built around 800 AD, and the function of the well is still perfect to this day. It is said that because the area is an arid area, the king at that time ordered a deep well to be built to store enough water, and also to allow the villagers to escape the heat in the hot summer. It is said that the bottom of the well can be 5 degrees Celsius cooler than the outside. -6 degrees. There are iron railings around the 7-story stairs below. It is said that because the local people regard well water as holy water, ordinary people cannot approach it casually. However, there is also a local legend that this well was actually dug by demons, and the reason why so many steps were built. , so that if someone accidentally drops the coin, because there are too many steps, it is too late to pick it up, and it will definitely fall into the well.

The Moon Well is also a very distinctive internet celebrity attraction in India. The well is a very deep structure and requires a lot of manpower to operate. The well is still a place that can be used today. You can experience the life of ordinary people in India.
