Agrasen Ki Baoli, also known as Ugrasen Ki Baoli, is a historical stepwell located in the heart of New Delhi, near Connaught Place. Believed to have been originally built by Maharaja Agrasen during the Mahabharata era and later reconstructed by the Agarwal community during the 14th or 15th century, this protected monument is one of the finest stepwells in India.
The baoli (stepwell) is 60 meters long and 15 meters wide, consisting of 108 steps leading down to the water level. It has three levels with arched niches, reflecting medieval architectural style. Once a crucial water conservation structure, it now stands as an architectural marvel, attracting history enthusiasts, photographers, and filmmakers.
Adding to its intrigue, Agrasen Ki Baoli is rumored to be haunted, with eerie tales surrounding its deep well. While there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, its serene yet mysterious ambiance makes it one of Delhi’s most unique attractions.
