This extraordinary, elaborate piece of architecture, descends 7 stories underground and was designed to serve the caravanserei, the passing merchants - not the local peasants. It was meant as both a source of water and as a cool place to socialise.
Amazingly, it was lost until the late 19th century until a there was a subsidence in the local cricket ground .... from an archaeological point of view, I am sure I join with all my kind in extreme envy for such a find!! Whohhh!!
Our guide is convinced the girl featured in the picture is applying her lipstick.
Forgot to mention that one of the friezes I included for the SunTemple is a childbirth scene.
