Why to visit Raniji Ka Baoli
The 165-foot-deep Raniji Ki Baoli is still a wonder to architectural fans, cited as a great example of professional Rajput architecture.The entry is marked by a relatively narrow gateway with four pillars. On top of it and just beneath the roof are slender arches. Stone elephants face each other on the tops of the pillars. Through the archways, the wide steps lead down to the well. All of the arches are embellished with S-shaped brackets.
Outside the mediaeval walls of Bundi town, near Kota, Rajasthan, is Raniji Ki Baoli. During the mediaeval period in Rajasthan, baolis (step wells) were extremely important. People used to congregate on these stairs, and baolis played an important role in the social structure of the time. Raniji Ki Baoli was constructed in the 16th century by Rani Nathavati, the Rao's youngest queen.
Special Tip
A ticket for three monuments is approx 350 rupees, which is significantly more affordable. On this same ticket, you may see the Raniji ki baoli, Sukh Mahal, and the 84-pillared cenotaph. Prices may vary, it's better to recheck before your visit.
