Panna Meena ka Kund is a stunning 16th-century stepwell located near the Amer Fort in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Built with precise geometric symmetry, this eight-level baori (stepwell) served both practical and social functions, providing water in the arid climate and acting as a community gathering space.
