Step into the Chand Bawdi, an architectural wonder in Rajasthan
Posted on 09 Jun, 2013 12:14 PMA stepwell or ‘bawdi’ or ‘baori’, is exactly what the name suggests – a well with steps that lead down to the water. About 1000 years ago, a 13-storey deep water reservoir boasting 3500 steps was built to ensure that people in the arid Abhaneri region of Rajasthan had a dependable water source.

Delhi’s ground water hits rock bottom
Posted on 20 May, 2013 12:40 PMGreen pastures and meadows, tall trees, lakes, wells and the river…those are my memories of Delhi. It wasn’t too long ago that one woke up early to the sounds of lawns being watered, children running off to school and people walking in the parks. A flurry of activity but quite different from what it is today.
