    Because there is no restriction on its use, some people bathe in it, some people wash clothes in it, etc., this well is the moon well of India. In fact, it is not surprising that the moon well has become a "dirty well", because the use of the moon well has not been used from beginning to end without any official management, and no one consciously protects it, it is completely a state of use and take, so under this laissez-faire use, it will inevitably gradually become dirtier and dirtier over time, not to mention that it is still a dead well, not a living well connected to the underground river.

    The reason why the Moon Well is called the "Holy Well" is not because of any legends about this well, nor because of its religious status, nor because of any magical place about it. It can be called the "holy well" because it was once the only water for the local people's life.

    In ancient times, the local area was very arid, and the surrounding water was often cut off, so if you wanted to drink water, you had to go to a far, far away place to get it, but if ordinary people wanted to get water, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, not to mention, it would also consume a lot of physical strength, and the amount of water that could be brought back was extremely limited. This living environment has threatened the survival of local human beings. But the country of this country was here at that time.

    So in order to survive, the king ordered a well to be dug, which was an "inverted pyramid" with a small hole above and a large space below. Due to its geographical location, there is no underground river below the well, so the water does not come from the bottom of the well, but from the sky. This well stores all the rainwater in the area, and every time it rains, the water from the whole city eventually collects here, so the well becomes a local holy well.

    It's just a well of life for the local people, but no one protects this well. Neither the king above, nor the people below, had anyone to protect them. This well was in the city, and everyone was free to use it as they pleased, so that some people ate and drank and Lazar ...... by the wellSo it ended up being the dirtiest well.
