Stepwell Panna Meena ka Kund at Amber outside Jaipur.
There is an Esher-like stepwell in Amber.

It was restored by the Jaipur Historical Society back in 2007 or 8 [ I think ] but I can’t find anything on Google.

I have been going back through old tour photos trying to see when the paint was fresh.

I remember it as quite pristine cream and white edges and climbing down to the water.
First photo is 2009
Next few a group 2015, later ones more recent.

It is developing a beautiful patina.
Amazing older or newer….

We always fit in a visit if we are in Jaipur, the whole area around it is fascinating too.

Where would you sit to sketch it?
Full on Esher look, or at an angle or at the ancient temple across the road, looking at a porpoise head that has fallen down? @leonienorton_travelsketching
We’ll be there soon.
