Panna Meena ka Kund

Panna Meena ka Kund is a beautiful 16th-century stepwell.

Stepwells are not new to the state of Rajasthan, as half of its land is on dry desert soil. It was built so the people of Amer could collect water, which was later used at many temples nearby. Women also came here to fill their water pots for household work.

Apart from this, it was a resting place for many travelers - business people and saints alike - as the temperature inside the stepwell is significantly cooler.

It is a square-shaped stepwell, with adjoining stairs on all four sides and a room on the northern wall. It’s believed this room was used for religious ceremonies before weddings or on popular festival dates.Read more
