What if I tell you that once upon a time there was a stepwell
which used to hypnotize people to commit suicide in it? A stepwell (Baoli)
which was full of black water and was built in the era of Mahabharta and rebuilt
and modified in the 14th century by Aggarwal community and IT STILL
EXISTS!!! There is no water but the step well is still there.
If you love to explore historical places which have not been tampered by the government, you must visit Agrasen
Ki Baoli in New Delhi. (also known as Ugrasen Ki Baoli).

There was a time when this place used to be full of water.....which was black in colour.

Timings of Agrasen Ki Baoli
There are many articles on the internet which has different timings
for this place which is completely misleading. So I actually went to
this place to get the right timings. The right timings of Agrasen Ki Baoli are
from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm. It opens at 8.30am in the morning till 5.00pm in the
evening and post 5.30 pm, there is a security guard who would literally push
you out of this place. Just kidding but yeah at times he does get irritated.

| He is the one guarding the place. He is the one who sleeps at this place..Well he surely has some stories to share with us. |
Ticket Price of Agrasen Ki Baoli
Hey!!!Good News...There is no ticket, no entry fee, no
charge...just be there at the right time which is between 8.30am to 5.00 pm and
you are in.

| Want to experience the actual vibe of this place, visit it in the evening when it's dark and empty. |
