Rajon Ki Baoli




Rajon Ki Baoli, one of the famous step wells, is near Adham Khan’s Tomb, in Mehrauli. This magnificent three-storeyed step well is believed to have been built by Daulat Khan during the reign of Sikandar Lodi in 1516. The baoli was used by masons for some time. Hence, it got its name as Rajon Ki Baoli. The five-storeyed { Gandhak ki Baoli} is nearby. In the olden days, these baolis supplied drinking water to the area.
