Agrasen Ki Baoli
Located in the capital of India, Agrasen Ki Baoli, is designated as a protected monument by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) under the Ancient Monuments and Archeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958.
The Baoli was originally built by Maharaja Agrasen, in the Mahabharat era, and later rebuilt by the Agrawal community in the 14th century, most probably during the Tughlaq period.
Though the baoli is completely dry now, but the gurgling sound of pigeons, and squeaky chatter of bats echoing off the stone walls makes this place creepy.
According to the legends, the Baoli was earlier fill with filthy Black water which attracted mostly disheartened, discouraged and depressed admirers with magnetic effects, hypnotized people to their death by alluring them to jump in the waters. It is believed that the "Baoli of the unseen", used to call for people to offer their lives and raise its water levels.
