Abhaneri is a small village located around 95 kms away from the "Pink City" of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Known for its beautiful baoris (step wells) and the famous Harshat Mata temple, Abhaneri is supposed to have been established by Raja Chand. Many believe that Raja Chand was in fact Raja Bhoja, a celebrated king who ruled over the Gurjar kingdom in the 9th century.
Abhaneri was earlier known as Abha Nagri or the city of brightness. Today, this ancient village is in ruins but yet attracts many tourists from all across the world. Chand Baori, a huge step well located near the Harshat Mata Temple is another important attraction of Abhaneri in Rajasthan.
Harshat Mata Temple This famous temple dates back to the 10th century and is an excellent example of early medieval architecture in Rajasthan. Though the place is in ruins, it still gives us a fair idea of its former glory.
Chand Baori This 10th century monument is actually a huge step well located in front of the temple. Complete with intricate carvings, it is indeed a treat to the eyes.
