On the way to Agra, we stopped in Abhaneri, to see a ruined water well, unlike any well you have ever seen. Unfortunately, I did not realize that I had changed the setting on my camera, so most of my pics did not come out. There is one that shows the incredible geometric pattern and size of the well. There are apparently 11 levels of zigzagging steps that go down to 20 meters in depth. This well was built in the 10th century. There is a palace (in ruins) attached to the well and many relief sculptures from an adjoining temple.
