The Panna Meena Ka Kund is a mesmerizing 16th-century stepwell. That lies in the underlying shadow of the famous fortress, Amer Fort. Many tourists who come to visit the Amer fort are unaware of the fact. That there lies a huge stepwell that was built back in the 16th century. Stepwell is nothing new that too in a state like Rajasthan because of its dry and arid season and the desert soil.

Panna Meena Ka Kund is a stepwell of square shape that has stairs on all its four sides. And a room on the northern side of the Kund. This amazing Kund is worth visiting and for the last twenty years, the stepwell has maintained by the local municipal body.

Panna Meena Ka Kund History

According to the common mass, there is a belief that, this historical and splendid Kund had built so that the people of Amer could have enough water. Later, the water of the Kund was used by the local temples. Rajasthani traditional women also came here to fill the earthen pots for drinking water as well as household work.

Also, Panna Meena Kund is said to have been the resting place for many travelers. Such as the traders, saints as the temperature inside the stepwell is comparatively cooler. Though there are many Jaipur tourist places and this is one of them hence we will advise including this place to JAIPUR TOUR PACKAGES.
