Prisoners' well |
 To
the west of the Hanuman temple there is a Prisoners'
well on a large rock. It is a natural rock over they
built a circular wall of 38 meters in circumference,
12 meters in inner circumference and 4 meters in
depth with bricks. The interior part looks spacious
and deep and it is built in such a way that no one
can climb and look out. In those days they pushed
the condemned prisoners into the well and so they
died of thirst and hunger. |
