Dada Hari Step Well (built 1501)
The Dada Hari Step Well was built to provide drinking water to travellers and pilgrims. The stepped well is dug directly into the water table, exposing fresh water at different levels according to the seasons. Though now dry, its deep interior once provided cool relief from the harsh Indian sun.
