    History

    Dabhai Kund's precise construction date is somewhat uncertain, but it's generally believed to have been built during the reign of the Rao Raja family, who ruled Bundi. Stepwells like Dabhai Kund were crucial for water conservation and served as community gathering places, especially during dry seasons. The kund's imposing structure and the depth of the well suggest it was likely commissioned by a ruler or a wealthy patron. The name 'Jail Kund' is rumored to come from its use as a prison in the past, though concrete evidence is lacking. Regardless, the kund stands as a testament to the ingenuity and architectural skills of the people of Bundi, providing a glimpse into the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
