Overview

Panna Meena Ka Kund was established in the 16th century, the place is also acknowledged by using many different names by local people some of which are just gatherings of the original name of the local language.

These are man-made swimming pools of water that can be reached through descending a series of stairwells. Panna Meena ka Kund Jaipur is one of the many famous stepwell that still stand within the western part of India, in which they were primarily built. The authentic reason for this Baori was to supply the locals with water for ingesting and different daily needs, especially for the duration of the dry summers, in addition to crop irrigation.


The kund also served as a community centre for the societies living around. People would gather and sit on the multiple levels of stairwell, and exchange conversation. Although Panna Meena ka Kund has now stopped being a source of water, it still serves as a place for locals and tourists alike to gather and spend some time chit-chatting.


During summertime and monsoon, you can see young neighbourhood boys competing among themselves by jumping into the pool from the edge of the Kund above. Elderlies sit alongside the various staircases, and it is also a fantastic area for couples to spend some fine time together, dangling their legs off the threshold of the stairwells.
