Baoli at Mukundpura village near Narnaul


Chhatris on the roof of  Baoli

This baoli (Stepwell) is situated in village Mukundpura near Narnaul City.It is believed to be at least 3-4 centuries old. 
Three levels of the Baoli
This baoli can be easily located through its four small Chhatris (dome shaped pavilions) on its rooftop.It has three stories and two of which are below the ground level. There are long and narrow corridors on  three sides of first and second levels.Remaining side is having stairs,leading all the way down to a small tank on the third level.

This small tank is connected to a well situated on the other side of the baoli through a small opening.

This baoli is comparatively in much better condition than majority of its counterparts situated at various corners of the city. Let's just hope that it continues to remain so. 

I am thankful of my friend Kamesh for accompanying me there.
