This is a fascinating stepwell, which we found quite interesting, since we had never seen a stepwell before. It is an example of the extraordinary ingenuity of Indian people, who thought of this innovative way to store & utilise water in the arid lands of Rajasthan. It is well worth a visit, just because it is so different and unusual an architectural form. What is truly remarkable is that it was once bustling with life, the place where women gathered to get water from for their daily needs.

This ladder well is not too far from Amber Fort. You can take a tuk-tuk, and you can walk from Amber Fort with good physical strength. Originally, the moon well was bigger and more famous, but it was a bit far away. I had to charter a car to go alone. I thought that it was the same anyway, and I chose a nearby visit. Although the scale of the ladder well is not large, it is still quite photogenic, and the photos look better than the scene. It's just a pity that I basically don't let it go down to take pictures now.
[Location] On the way to Amber Fort on the jeep, you will pass by. It belongs to the attraction of "buy one and get one free", but it is very special. [Tickets] are free. But you are not allowed to take pictures below the ground plane. You can sit on the platform at most. Sometimes the security is in a bad mood and the platform does not let you sit. [Background] panna meena ki bolie The ladder well was designed by panna and meena in the 16th century. It was originally designed to provide people with water for living in the surrounding villages, but it is now abandoned. The pavilion on the ground floor is a place for entertainment and dance. The pavilion on the four corners is a place for people to rest and chat. [Play] The geometric lines here are arranged unconventionally to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is a Hindu temple next to it, also built in the 16th century, and the exterior walls are a bit dark. Cool mornings, there will be loonger black-faced monkeys, they are more well-behaved, not aggressive (but don't provoke), macques red-faced monkeys have aggressive.
From nearly 2000 step-wells in India, Rajasthan houses almost 100 of them. It is famous for its well-preserved stepwells, and one of them is the Panna Meena Ka Kund. The other names for Panna Meena ka Kund are Panna Mian Kund, Panna Meena Baori, and Panna Meena Bawri

这个阶梯水井距离琥珀堡并不太远,我们是从琥珀堡走过来的,大概也就十多分钟的路程,跟到地图导航走就行了。规模不大,比不上月亮水井,但月亮水井距离斋浦尔还有好几十公里,只有包车前往,哪有这个方便,而且现在这些水井要么就是被铁栅栏围起,要么就是有专人值守,总之就是不让走下去了。人少,取个好的角度,照相出来还是多特别的。
印度有许多类似的阶梯水井,但斋浦尔的是最为著名的。对于当地人来说不仅是蓄水池,还是夏天消遣避暑的好地方。建议大家到斋浦尔这里一定要去看看,因为很有意义,这种建筑好像其他国家我还没见过,是印度特有的。
