Nanag Ram ji ki Baoli, Landscape | Stepwell Photos

A landscape format photo of the Nanag Ram ji ki Baoli stepwell at Bandarej, Rajasthan.

This once was a lovely well with elegant arches but we hear a story that will become all too familiar - no decent rain and the well's been dry for 30 years - but the older men can remember swimming in the water when they were young.

A push through the trees and shrubs that block the entrance leads to a unique collection of arched shapes and perspectives as well as a close detail of the building materials. 

Small trees now grow out of the stone walls; a plastic bag is caught in a branch. Seeing the raw construction reminds you of the scale of the labour involved in digging the well.
