Delhi has been the place of kings and emperors, and they built many such monuments in Delhi under their rule, which today amaze us a lot due to their excellent structures and amazing history. One of such monuments is Agrasen Ki Baoli, which is actually a stepwell, also known as bavadi, vav, vavdi and vavadi, depending on the region. This 14th-century stepwell is located on Hailey Road, near Connaught Place in Delhi, renowned for its amazing fact that by seeing its water, people are usually hypnotized to commit suicide. Not many people were familiar with this place till some time ago, but after showing Agrasen Ki Baoli in the PK movie of Bollywood, this place has become more popular among people. In that movie, superstar Aamir Khan played an alien and showed that his home is Agrasen Ki Baoli.

Agrasen Ki Baoli is believed to have been built by legendary King Agrasen in the 14th century. However, no evidence has been found so far to prove who actually built this amazing architecture. This historical stepwell is 60-meter long and 15-meter wide, with 106 steps that have been built to reach the bottom in Baoli. In ancient India, such Stepwells were usually built for the purpose of saving water. There is a peculiar belief about this Baoli among people is that in ancient times this stepwell was filled with black water and this black water attracts and hypnotizes people and forces them to jump into the well. Presently, this well has dried up, and upon coming down in the Baoli, deep silence and darkness appear. The shrieks of the bats make the atmosphere of Baoli even more terrible. It is one of the few Stepwells of Delhi which are still in good condition. This wonderful structure is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
