Agrasen Ki Baoli

Agrasen Ki Baoli is a historic stepwell located on Hailey Road in New Delhi, believed to have been built during the 14th century by the Agrawal community, though its exact origins are debated. This 60-meter-long, 15-meter-deep structure features 108 steps descending to the water level, flanked by arched niches on both sides. Once a vital water source, it now stands as a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India. Visitors can descend the steps to admire the symmetrical architecture, observe bats roosting in the niches, and reflect on the ingenuity of medieval water conservation systems. The stepwell has also become a popular spot for photography and quiet contemplation.
