Agrasen ki Baoli, also known as Agar Sain ki Baoli or Ugrasen ki Baoli, is a historical stepwell located in the heart of New Delhi, India. The origin of the baoli is attributed to Maharaja Agrasen during the Mahabharat era and later rebuilt by the Agrawal community in the 14th century. This ancient water reservoir is a blend of unique architectural design and scientific engineering. It consists of 103 steps made of red stone, leading down to a dry well, which once held water. The structure is a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958. Agrasen ki Baoli has a length and width of 60 meters and 15 meters, respectively. It is a fine example of the medieval Indian architecture that converges both utilitarian and aesthetic aspects. The Baoli has gained popularity due to its haunting legends, being featured in Bollywood films and being a serene spot in the midst of the bustling city.
