Tucked away in the winding alleys of Jodhpur’s old city, Toorji Ka Jhalra is a hidden marvel among Rajasthan’s ancient stepwells. Also known as the Toorji’s Stepwell or Jhalra, this elegantly stepped water system dates back to the mid-1740s, built during the reign of Maharaja Abhaya Singh (1749–1752), allegedly commissioned by his consort, Queen Toorji (or Toorji Ji).
