Agrasen ki Baoli (Baoli ka kua- a generic name called by local people), designated a protected monument by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) under the Ancient Monuments and Archeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958, is a 60-meter long and 15-meter wide historical step well on Hailey Road near Connaught Place, a short walk Baraghambha Road in New Delhi, India.
This place is untouched by general crowd and a perfect spot for portfolio shoots, or spending evenings with close friends.
The walls are symmetrical yet very symbolic. The place was supposed to be a well (Kua in Hindi) where the king / queen come to take bath in ancient times.
