Rajon ki Bain, mehrauli

When one walks straight from the gandhak ki baoli, within a few yards is a mosque and on turning left a jungle appears. As we walk a little further we come across the magnificent Rajon ki Bain . 


This baoli or step-well, along with a mosque and tomb, was built in 1506 in Sikander Lodi’s time.




  
It was probably used by masons, hence the name rajon. 


Long since dried up (it is also known as Sukhi Baoli, or dry well)
