			This Baoli, with 108 steps, is among a few of its kind in [[Delhi]]. Three levels of the historic [[stepwell]] are visible. Each level is lined with arched niches on both sides. From an architectural perspective, this step well was probably rebuilt during the [[Tughlaq]] or [[Lodi dynasty\|Lodi]] period and is flanked by a small three-sided mosque towards the west.<ref>[http://India9.com/i9show/Baoli-61723.htm Baolis in Delhi.]</ref>
