As
the
name
suggests🤔,
d
monument
is
a
step-well
surrounded
by
80
stone
pillars😱.
D
periphery
of
step-well
is
⚫circular
in
shape
&
d
baori
built
⚒️fr
storing
water
🚰also
has
different
chambers
which
had
been
constructed⚒️
fr
d
bathing
purposes
of
queens👑.
It
was
built
by
Maharaja
Man
Singh
Tomar👑
of
Gwalior
(1500
CE).
This
huge
baoli
(step-well)
was
built⚒️
by
ancient
Hindu
engineers
of
⚒️Man
Singh’s
kingdom
in
just
5
days.😱
In
1505,
Sikandar
Lodhi
declared
a⚔️🛡️
war
&
invaded
Gwalior.
In
response,
👑Man
Singh
ordered
Gwalior
🏰fort
to
be
closed
down.
He
ordered
d
construction⚒️
of
huge
baoli
fr
storage
of
water🚰
during
d
siege
in
just
5
days.
Man
Singh
made
excellent
preparations
fr
the
siege.
He
used
crafty
hit
&
run
tactics.🤔
Once
his
soldiers
marched
out
of
d
fort
to
give
battle.
But
they
soon
retreated
back
into
d
🏛️fort
after
initial
engagement,
causing
frustration
to
Sikandar
Lodhi.😳
Tired
&
hungry,
Sikandar
Lodhi
and
his
troops
were
forced
to
give
up
d
siege
and
return
back.
After
d⚔️🛡️
battle
Baoli
continued
to
be
used
to
store
water🚰
&
a
sections
of
it
were
also
used
as
a
bath.
A
scarcity
of
food
resulting
frm
Lodi’s
destruction
of
crops
forced
Lodi
to
give
up
d
siege.
During
his
return
to
☪️Agra,
Man
Singh
Tomar
ambushed
Lodi’s
army
near
Jatwar,
inflicting
heavy
casualties
on
d
invaders.
Really
🤩nice
historical
landmark
with
beautiful
architectural.🤔
I
guess
this
baoli
need
few
maintenance
fr
tourists.
