In ancient times, people built well-planned step- wells, also known as baolis, to conserve water. What exactly are baolis? Baolis are stepwells mainly used as reservoirs to collect wa- ter during rainy season. These stepwells were also used as a source of ground water in an- cient times during summer. Baolis were usually built near temples and mosques and peo- ple residing in those areas used to visit these stepwells for a bath or to wash their clothes. The cool baolis (because they were filled with water) also served as a resting place for people to shelter themselves from the oppressive heat of sweaty summer months. ➤ Baolis were found in the ruins of Indus Valley Civilisation such as Dholavira and Mohenjo-daro. ➤ The Great Bath – the cylindrical brick lined wells found in Mohenjo-daro, which was built almost 4,000 years ago is con- sidered as the predecessor of the step- well which we now identify as baolis. A HINT OF HISTORY Agrasen ki Baoli Hidden amidst corporate buildings and residential apartments of central Delhi, this 108 steps baoli is one of its kind. Sitting quietly in the urban jungle of Lutyens’ Delhi, Agrasen Ki Baoli is a prominent landmark of Barakhamba road, Delhi. ➤ The architectural structure of the baoli suggests that it was built during the Lodi Period, but according to a legend it is said to be built by King Agrasen of the Agrawal dynasty. This baoli is not merely a slice of history for the visitors but also full of interest- ing stories that lie beneath its strong and sturdy steps. ➤ Visitors have claimed that they were slapped by someone in this place when alone. These eerie claims have lent this baoli a haunted reputa- tion that has only added to its popularity. Baolis of Delhi Want to know about the history and relevance of ancient baolis in the capital? Here’s all about them… This majestic three-storey baoli, situated in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, is believed to have been built during the reign of Sikandar Lodi in 1516 by Daulat Khan – the last ruler of the Lodi dynasty. The baoli’s name is derived from the term ‘Rajbirs’ meaning masons. Generally assumed to be a stepwell for the kings for its name, Rajon ki Baoli was used by masons who had moved in permanently into a mosque built adjacent to the stepwell. Rajon ki Baoli D elhi, with its rich history is full of notable monuments and other structures of eras gone by. They remind you of the glory of India and its smart architecture – baolis are a great example of the architectural mastery of ancient India. For the uninitiated, check out these popular baolis of Delhi and the stories related to them. This one is more than just an architectural site for the believers of the popular sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin. A leg- end has it that this baoli was built by the saint all by himself. He started digging a stepwell around the same time when the then ruler of Delhi, Ghiyas-ud- Din Tughlaq, was building his own city – Tughlakabad. A strife arose between the two and Ghiyas-ud-Din ceased labourers and oil supply to Hazrat Nizamuddin. However, the saint simply blessed the baoli and lit the lamps with water and continued build- ing the stepwell. Baoli of Nizamuddin As the name suggests, this baoli, situated in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, smells acidic due to the present of sul- phur in its water. There is a belief that the water has some curative properties in it. This baoli dates back to the period of Iltumish in the 13th century.
