'''Raniji ki Baori''', also "Queen's stepwell" is a noted [[stepwell]] situated in [[Bundi]] town in [[Rajasthan]] state in [[India]]. It was built in 1699 by Rani Nathavati Ji (Solanki) who was the younger queen of the ruling Rao Raja Anirudh Singh of [[Bundi]]. It is a 46 meter deep stepped well with some superb carvings on its pillars and a high arched gate. It is a multistoreyed structure with places of worship on each floor.<br />
The step well has a narrow entrance marked by four pillars. Stone elephant statues that face each other stand in the corners. Ogee brackets decorate all the archways of 46 m deep Raniji ki Baori, which is reputedly the largest Baori of Bundi. <br />
Baoris were significant social constructions in the medieval Bundi since they acted as assembly areas for the townsfolk. Raniji ki Baori has superb carvings on its pillars and a high arched gate.<br />
<br />
It was constructed during the reign of his son Maharao Raja Budh Singh who ruled [[Bundi]] from 1695 AD to 1729 AD.<br />
