Gandhak ki baoli, mehrauli
The baoli is about 100 meters south of Adham Khan's tomb in Mehrauli behind the Mehrauli bus terminal.
It
is one of the largest step-wells or
baolis
in and around Mehrauli.
It was built during the reign of Emperor Iltutmish of the Slave dynasty.
The baoli is known as
Gandhak ki Baoli
because of its waters smell like
gandhak
, which means sulphur.
