==History==
===Origins===
[[File:Front View of Dwarka Baoli 04.jpg|thumb|left|[[Dwarka Baoli]] is a [[stepwell]] constructed for the residents of Loharehri village by the Sultans of the [[Lodi Dynasty]] in the early 16th century.]]
Dwarka is named after the legendary [[Dwaraka Kingdom]]. It is a short distance away from [[Gurgaon]] which is a major hub for large corporations in the country and about 10 km away from [[Indira Gandhi International Airport]]. With the opening up of the Airport Express Line in 2011,<ref>{{cite web|title=Airport Express line: Another Star in Dwarka's Success|url=http://whats-hot-in-dwarka.blogspot.in/2011/06/airport-express-line-another-star-in.html|access-date=5 June 2011}}</ref> the travel time from the Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station to Airport was reduced to less than [[Delhi Airport Metro Express|10 minutes]].

Some parts of modern-day Dwarka historically came under the colony of ''Pappankalan'', which are now being developed under the 'Urban Expansion Projects' of the [[Delhi Development Authority]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Urban Extension Projects|url=http://dda.org.in/planning/dwarka.htm|publisher=[[Delhi Development Authority]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070321180359/http://www.dda.org.in/planning/dwarka.htm|archive-date=21 March 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

A small baoli, discovered five years ago in Dwarka, has been restored and could become a tourist attraction. An elaborate conservation project by the India National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (Intach) for the Lodi-era baoli was completed recently. [[Dwarka Baoli]] (also known as Loharehri Baoli) is a historical [[stepwell]] recently discovered in [[Dwarka Sub City]], in southwest New Delhi, India. It was constructed for the residents of Loharehri village by the Sultans of the [[Lodi Dynasty]] in the early 16th century. [[Dwarka Sub City|Dwarka]] now stands where the Loharehri village once stood.
