| Agrasen Ki Baoli in the middle of New Delhi.
The old juxtaposed against the new. For the uninitiated, Baoli is Stepwell, a sort of water reservoir. |
 |
| Although there are no known historical records to prove who built Agrasen ki Baoli, it is believed that it was originally built by the legendary king Agrasen during the Mahabharat epic era and rebuilt in the 14th century by the Agrawal community which traces its origin to Maharaja Agrasen. |

| Almost near the bottom of the well. |

Damn what have they done to this place???? what is the red house doing there???? but nice images:::)
The red house is supposed to be a information centre, sans anyone to man it. Thanks for appreciating the images. 🙂
Interesting description.
Impressive
Very informative post. Earlier, people used to build temple steps to reserve water in ancient India. Since the water had dried up and Baoli is just a dry reservoir now. It is one of the most haunted places of India. People often call it 'Baoli of the unseen'. Check out more about Agrasen ki baoli.
