Best place to photo shoot and spend time with friends and family

Situated inside the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Rajon Ki Baoli (16th Century) is one of the best kept secrets of the city. The stepwell boasts of a grand ornate structure with cooling chambers in a jungle like surrounding. It surely offers a relaxing ambience for the weary travellers. We have witnessed it in all moods... completely dry, with little water and with waters uptill the chambers. May it be back to its grandeur and be the reason for the happiness for all those who seek its support!

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.

This is a hidden place because less people know about this place and best thing about this place its atmosphere. Near this place there is many places like Jamali kamali masque And tomb. There is no crowd. If you wanted to go this place just go Qutub minar Metro or Malviya Nagar metro Take a auto and said Mehrauli Bus stand he will drop you there in 40 Rupees. A little walk and you reached your destination. Beautiful, peaceful and lovable. Just go and explore Delhi. Note don’t go with your car...

Right at the end of the trail that starts at Qutub Minar is a real hidden gem - the Rajon Ki Baoli - a 500 year old Baoli (open well) that goes down 3 floors to the water table. The Baoli is in very good condition and very well maintained. You can walk up and down the floors via narrow winding stairwells - that add to the adventure. At the top and to the right is a small mosque, from the top of which you get a fantastic view of Qutub Minar behind Mehrauli village. If you don’t want to do the long hike from Qutub to the Baoli, you can also access it from the Mehrauli village side (close to the post office, behind Mehrauli Bus Depot). Highly recommended.

Finally found a fuuuull step well 💦🌊⛲ Granted you wouldn't want to drink or even swim in this water buuuut still quite pretty regardless 🤘😎🌌 There is a B-E-A-utiful round well which feeds this place with life giving H20... That said it might be the laaaast place you want to fall into ⚰️💀🥀 Love the domed buildings overlooking the terrace! Great place to watch the sunset for sure 🌇 Met some young ladies who where here doing a photo shoot... Needless to say I got to photo bomb their picture session with a true vengeance! We had a ball laughing and giggling... Hope those photos came out well 😂😛🤣📸💣 Really enjoyed this place and the time exploring all of her catacombs 🫠💜🔥🎉

Nice place to visit

Nice place for old architect lovers. Situated inside the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Rajon Ki Baoli (16th Century) is one of the best kept secrets of the city. The stepwell boasts of a grand ornate structure with cooling chambers in a jungle like surrounding. It surely offers a relaxing ambience for the weary travellers.

Rajon ki Baoli also referred to as Rajon ki Bain, Rajon means Masons probably named during the British Empire. It is located in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park in Delhi and is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained step-wells in Delhi. The Baoli was commissioned by Daulat Khan in 1506 CE. He was an administrator of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate who invited Babur to India. The three-story structure has a lot to offer, one can find many historic significance here. The baoli is surrounded by Verandah with attractive pillars and arches decorated with motifs. On the west side of the baoli, there's a small tomb and a stunning mosque.

Rajon ki baoli or baoli of the rajmistry or masons, built during 16th century in Lodi era. Five layered stepwell. It's a stunning place to be in with its verandahs. There's also a mosque and tomb in the complex. You can still see peeks of blue colorwork in the tomb and the beautiful work on the inside of the mosque. No entry fee

The baoli was built during the Lodi dynasty, which ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1451 to 1526. The exact date of construction of Rajon Ki Baoli is not known, but it is believed to have been built in the late 15th century. The baoli is named after a saint called Rajon who is said to have lived in the area at that time. The baoli is a square-shaped structure with steps leading down to a well at the bottom. It is 60 feet deep and is made of red sandstone. The baoli has three levels of arched corridors with chambers on either side. Rajon Ki Baoli served as a source of water for the people of Mehrauli for many years. It was also used as a resting place for travelers and as a venue for community gatherings. Today, Rajon Ki Baoli is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India. It is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction. The baoli is also used as a location for cultural events and exhibitions.

Adorable place 😍❣️ Rajon Ki Baoli is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of Delhi. The stepwell showcases the engineering and artistic skills of the Lodi period, as well as the water management system that was essential for survival in the arid climate. The stepwell also offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Rajon Ki Baoli is a hidden gem that deserves more attention and appreciation from visitors.

Need maintenance .. Great place to visit with friends

Ii this step well was constructed in the year of 1516.it was built by daulut khan lodi,governer of Lahore province during the reign of sulthan sikandar lodi(1489 to 1517)he was second ruler of Lodi dynasty.

Rajon ki Baoli also referred as Rajon ki Bain is a famous stepwell in Mehrauli Archaeological Park of Delhi, India.[1][2] It was commissioned by Daulat Khan in 1506 CE, an administrator of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.[3][4]

Have been hearing a lot about the place. This time got a chance to visit it and wasn't disappointed. Amazing place. Great for filming and pictures. Must visit place if you are in Delhi. But do note the timings at which it is open. This is famous for shooting spots. It is one the most oldest and historical well built by the king . It is very technically and engineered perfectly to store the water without even any vaporization during the summer times. If you want to visit and spend around 30mins to a place, you can just visit here.

Probably the first baoli I've seen with a mosque and tomb located adjacent to it, Rajon ki Baoli got its name from from "Rajbirs" (Mistri's/Mason's) in the early 20th century due to the presence of these Rajbirs who had moved in permanently into the deserted mosque. This complex was built around 1506 CE in the Lodhi Era by an administrator, Daulat Khan and has all the markings of a pre-Mughal building. The tiny bit of blue tiled mosaics on tomb of the tomb makes one realise how colourful this spot once was under the bright Indian sun. Nothing remains but darkened roofs and walls within the mosque but the intensely organic cartouche on the outside does indicate that care and time were taken to build this complex ergo the mosque must have been very well decorated too. Located within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, there no tickets to enter but it's quiet a walk from the main gate and the pathway is a bit steep. Not recommended for people with reduced mobility.

Mughal era water storage and deep well can be found in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park. The surrounding area around the baoli is not well kept yet is an interesting place for people. It was closed when I went in Feb 22 .

Ossom place as there is not much crowd and less restrictions. You will find peace there a very good place to visit for calmness. You should read about the history before visiting the place.

Rajon ki Baoli in New Delhi is a captivating historical gem that transports you back in time. The ancient stepwell's architectural grandeur and intricate carvings are a testament to India's rich heritage. As you descend the steps, the play of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing atmosphere, making it a haven for photographers and history enthusiasts alike. The site's tranquility amidst the bustling city adds to its charm, offering a serene escape into the pages of Delhi's past. A must-visit for those seeking a blend of history and architectural beauty.

The monument dates back to Sikander Lodhi rule. It is said to have been built by Daulat Khan. The monument comes under Mehrauli Archaeological Park and located in the middle of the park. You will find security guard here. The water of the baoli/stepwell is either dried up or full of algae and waste most of the time. No proper sanitation and cleanliness is done. At certain places, it smells foul. People through garbage which is also a concern.

The Baoli is just like any other Baoli, stepwell architecture and old, though not as old as Agrasen ki Baoli. The water has been long standing and algae has pretty much covered its surface. To be frank, it's in a sorry state and not much is being done by the ASI to at least keep its water free from algae, and not much is being done by the people too as you can see plastic waste floating on the surface of the water. There's no entry fee, though I'd be happy giving one if the Baoli gets cleaned up and gets its due maintenance.

Nice place to spend time.. View from the roof top is very nice.. Water inside should be clean alongwith inside place too... Otherwise all are very good.. The Gurds should more concerned about local visitors that they should not throwing their trash 😡 every where but USE ME.....✅✅✅

Very good place insiide mehrauli park

GETTING THERE The nearest metro station is Qutub Minar station on Yellow Line of Delhi Metro. From there you can take an auto to reach Rajon ki Baoli. THINGS TO DO IN & AROUND The Rajon ki Baoli is located near the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which is one of the most famous historic sites in Delhi. You can also visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Qutub complex and witness the famous Qutub Minar OPENING AND CLOSING TIMING The Baoli is open from 9 am to 5 pm on all days of the week. ENTRY FEES There is no entry fee. BEST TIME TO VISIT Winters in Delhi is the best time to explore the city with climate being favourable for a sightseeing tour. Rajon Ki Baoli Delhi 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.

Good luck place

Good place to spent time, beautiful views and greenery all around, people here love to sit on the top of the monument and watch the scenic views 💚

Boring and filthy place

The place is amazing to see the great idea of Mughal architecture. It is great to see how 3 - 4 floors are made to facilitate water. It Boli has a masjid (now abandoned) attached to it. Boli gets its water from a well which is deep as 5 floors !!

Not maintained properly that's the reason this place is not cleaned. very few people knew about this place.. that's why this is unexplored. You can enjoy the forest greenery and track.. i visited this place for cycling and i really enjoyed it.

Queen's used to bathe here In the past

Beautiful place

Do not visit as the Area is not safe and one has to pass through dirty slum to visit this baoli. Poor maintenance by the govt. ancient baoli is left as it as by the Archaeological Survey of India. Beautiful place worth not visiting.

Damn ! Hidden gem hai ye Delhi mai .....where you can have good photoshoot. So I reached mehrauli bus terminal from there I asked local vendors for the way. Btw it's not pretty safe akele jaana . So groups mai jaao. Andarr 200 meter Chalke you'll reach this rajaon ki baoli. Wahi security gaurd ne btaya ki ye baoli 7 manjil gehri hai . So you have to be careful.

I will only request the authorities to clean the water at regular frequency. Our ancestors definitely left behind some amazing architecture for us, but we need at least to maintain it in a decent condition.

This place exist in Mehrauli , Rajon ki Baoli is a place where you find alot of monument like gumbad , baoli etc

Nice stepwell, nicely balanced architecture… worth a visit and it’s free!!

Just like the previous Baoli, it also includes a mosque but with an addition of a tomb. It was built around the Sikandar Lodi era by Daulat Khan. Just over 60 steps leading to the bottom water tank of this Baoli, it is a relic of Lodhis. It was built during the 15th to 16th century with three levels, narrowing as it descended. Steps leading down are deep, descending from North leading to water meanwhile East and West sides and enclosed by high walls with sides that hold platforms to walk on and twelve pillars each side that encases arched niches. It was used by Raj Mistri (Masons) at that time and pluralized it got its name Rajon ki Baoli. Today visitors can take a stroll on these three levels and this Baoli is the part of preserved Mehrauli Archeological Park Complex, although water can be seen here it is filled with floating garbage.

The entrance to the park isn’t easy to spot. The garden inside the Mehrauli Archeological Park are decent and it’s a nice little place, but I found it to be a bit overrated.

A hidden gem of Delhi. Usually not many people visit the Mehrauli Archeological Park and within this park, this is one of the hidden gems which not many people are aware of. In 2021 rains, a four-five storey baoli got filled upto the top as in my images and entry was restricted. No fee but a wonderful place to visit within Delhi

Very beautiful place in the mehrauli archeological Park campus but this particular place is locked as there is water in the well. You can look at this from the outside gate at a decent distance and enjoy the view, due to the fear of people falling /getting injured because of the water filled in well its usually closed.

Beautifull. Though I prefer when it's totally empty and without water. One can see the depth and all the lower levels of the building.

👍

Now the pond has turned into a algae pond

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.

Nice calm place to sit and relax...you can get sine shots there as well for landscapes and portrait are always beautiful there...just check the lighting.. evening are more beautiful and much filtered light..so you can get amazing portraits there....you can go with contrasting look with clothes or do the ethnic. .

Must visit... Can enjoy sunset ,chirping of birds , n holy voice of azaan....❤️

One of the most ancient baoli(11th century) of india. This place is deep inside mehrauli forest and the water is suffering from 'Algal bloom' Not maintained by govt at all.

Very artistically design

Good place to visit historical places.

A wonderful historical place to visit.

Beautiful place

Its little in the interior

Peacefull Place

Until today, when looking back to these photos, I still found myself amzed by the beauty of this Baoli. Since I went on very early morning, the mist made it even more mysterious. There were hundred of parrots there.

I'm going 1-oct-2020 close

Nice historical place....

Rajon ki baoli' also known as 'Rajon-ki-bain', is a picturesque 'baoli' or stepwell dating back to 1506 The cool stone structure stands serene and silent under the blistering Delhi sun. Generally thought to be a stepwell for kings ('raja' means king), it's name is actually derived from 'rajbirs' or 'mistris'--the term for masons--that it got in the early 20th century due to the presence of masons who had moved in permanently into the deserted mosque. It hss been built in the Lodi era by Daulat Khan, the enclosure also includes a mosque and a tomb. Alcoves in the walls used for burning lamps suggest that that it must have been a place for social, cultural gatherings, a public space frequented even during night times.

I want to go there

This Place is not safe , Don't Go

Very nice

Historical place in mehrauli.. try to save it
