Agra Sen's Bawdi in Delhi is a unique and interesting monument. Eclipse with high and modern buildings of the city, only a few people know about this historic stairwell well in the National Capital Region. Bawdi is a historic monument that takes care of the Archaeological Survey of India. Located on the Halley Road near Connaught Place, it is a 15 meter wide and 60 meter long artistic stairwell well.
It was thought that no one knows about the person who created it, but the fact is that it was constructed by the great King of Agarten during Mahabharata and members of Agarwal community were reproduced in the 14th century. There are 103 stairs in this well which leads to the base where water was collected at any time and which is made in five different levels.
Apart from other traditional obstacles which are mostly spherical, it is in a different shape, with a raised platform on which there is a roof and no ceiling on the other end but the shadow of a big tree of a neem. Today there is no water in Bawadi but this well is home to many pigeons and bats. This monument is preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India under the Archaeological Site and Remnants Act, 1958.
