When Batman Visited Rajasthan
Did you know that in the Dark Knight Rises, Batman found his soul by climbing out of a stepwell in a sleepy village in rural India?
The stepwell, Chand Baori in Abhaneri, Rajasthan, is the largest stepwell in India. It is also the most stunning — a deep, four-sided structure with a huge temple on one side. About 3,500 terraced steps lead down the other three sides 13 stories to a depth of 100 feet. It was built in the 10th century, and dedicated to Harshat Mata, the goddess of joy and happiness.
