Chand Baori was built by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty between 800
and 900 CE and was dedicated to Hashat Mata, Goddess of Joy and
Happiness upon completion. Because the state of Rajasthan is extremely arid, and the intent and final structure of Chand Baori was intended to conserve as much water as possible. At the bottom of the well, the air remains 5-6 degrees cooler than at the surface, and Chand Baori was used as a community gathering place for locals during periods of intense heat.
