Agrasen ki baoli, South Delhi
ABOUT
Agrasen ki Baoli is an ancient step-well located on the Hailey Road. It is 15 metres wide and 60 metres long and has 108 steps. The baoli is believed to have been built by the legendary king Agrasen and its architectural style dates it back to the 14th century. The massive structure offers several photo-taking opportunities, so much so, that the 2012 Formula One models’ photo shoot also took place here.
HISTORY
Agrasen ki Baoli, designated a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958, is a 60-meter long and 15-meter wide historical step well on Hailey Road,[1] near Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, India.[2] Although there are no known historical records to prove who built Agrasen ki Baoli, it was originally built by the legendary king Agrasen,[3] and the present architecture hints at it being rebuilt in the 14th century during the Tughlag period of Delhi Sultanate.

The place became particularly famous after it was featured in the Aamir Khan movie, PK and in Salman Khan’s Sultan. If you are looking for not-very-crowded places to visit in South Delhi, you can definitely visit the baoli in the early hours of the day!
