This is really a nice and historic place but the only thing i didn't like about this. The authorities aren't taking these places nicely. The water which is stored by rain or by something has became so toxic all the beauty of this place goes down by this. Please do clean and make this place more beautiful for people , so they can see how beautiful this place is.

The baoli is in a well preserved form however, the well at the end is full of litter. A quiet place to sit and relax after the tiring walk of Mehrauli village.

Was closed when I reached by 0730 on Sunday. Jumped the gate to get in. Place is not maintained. Very dirty and isolated.

Delhi was never a city with abundant water and despite having the Yamuna as its major source of water, Delhi always faced a water crisis. During medieval times, the kings commissioned the construction of Baolis all across Delhi to tackle the water crisis. The scorching summer heat made most of the surrounding areas of Mehrauli city arid and dry and these Baolis used to serve as water for irrigation and water reserve. Mehrauli has such numerous Baolis made during 15th and 16th century. One such surviving Baoli is the Rajao ki Baoli. Rajon translated means Masons, not kings. This is the common misconception about the origin of the Baoli. Named after the masons that were working there, Rajon Ki Baoli served as an important part of the Mehrauli City. The three-storey structure seems to unfold and emerge as you approach closer. Made out of rocks, the Baoli is similar to other Baolis built during the 15th and 16th century. The three-storeyed structure can be accessed through the steps and each storey has a unique structure. A feat of architecture, the Baoli still remains tall amidst the ruins of other monuments of the Mehrauli Archaeological Park. Visitors can walk across the platforms on each storey.
