95 km from Jaipur, the village of Abhaneri is situated on the Jaipur-Agra road and is especially notable for ‘baoris’, the step wells that are an indigenous invention of the local people at rainwater harvesting. Besides these ‘baoris’, the Harshat Mata Temple is worth visiting, who is the Goddess of Mirth and Happiness. According to the local beliefs, Goddess Harshat Mata is always depicted in a jolly mood and is said to impart her mirth and happiness as brightness to the whole village. ‘Abha’ means brightness in Hindi. Thus, the village was originally named ‘Abha Nagri’, which in time was corrupted to Abhaneri.
