Rear view of a mother and daughter wearing hats and sitting at a step well (Toorji Ka Jhalra) in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.

This geometrically handsome step-well (also known as a baori or wav) has been rejuvenated after decades as a rubbish dump. Its clean lines and clear, fish-filled water will leave you mesmerized. It's a great place to just sit and watch, and the attached cafe adds further incentive for a visit.
