Rajon Ki Baoli

4434

Delhi was never a city with ample of water and despite having the Yamuna as its major source of water, Delhi always faced water crisis. During the time of medievals, the kings ordered 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 conservation. Mehrauli has such various Baolis made during 15th and 16th century. One such outlive Baoli is the Rajao ki Baoli. Rajon relocate means Masons, not the kings. This is the common misconception about the birth of the Baoli. Titled after the masons that were working there, Rajon Ki Baoli worked as an important part of the Mehrauli City. The three-storeyed structure seems to evolve and emerge as you approach closer. Made of rocks, the Baoli is similar to other Baolis constructed during the 15th and 16th century. The three-storeyed structure can be accessed through the steps and each storey has its own structure. A achievement of architecture, the Baoli still remains big amidst the ruins of other monuments of the Mehrauli Archaeological Park. Tourist can walk across the platforms on each storey.
