Agrasen ki Baoli
Agrasen ki Baoli (also known as Agar Sain ki Baoli or Ugrasen ki Baoli), designated a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958, is a 60-meter long and 15-meter wide historical step well on Hailey Road 〔The connecting road between Kasturba Gandhi Road and Barakhamba Road〕 near Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, India.〔(Agrasen ki Baoli gets new lease of life ) The Times of India, January 2, 2002.〕 Although there are no known historical records to prove who built Agrasen ki Baoli, it is believed that it was originally built by the legendary king Agrasen〔Mittal, J.P. (2006), History of Ancient India (4250 BC to 637 AD) page 675, ISBN 978-81-269-0616-1 (This author considers King Agrasen an actual historical figure)〕 during the Mahabharat epic era〔http://www.mynews.in/fullstory.aspx?storyid=14371〕〔http://www.aujourdhuilinde.com/actualites-inde-agrasen-ki-baoli-un-oasis-au-coeur-de-la-capitale-511.asp〕〔http://www.tripsguru.com/Monuments/Delhi%20Monuments.html/〕 and rebuilt in the 14th century by the Agrawal community which traces its origin to Maharaja Agrasen.
==Origin of the word Baoli==
Baoli or bawdi, also referred to as baori or bauri, is a Hindi word (from Sanskrit ''wapi'' 〔Suryakanta(1975), Sanskrit Hindi English Dictionary, page 519, Orient Longman (ISBN 086125 248 9).〕〔Whitworth,George Clifford (1885), An Anglo-Indian Dictionary (See Baoli).〕 or ''vapi'','' vapika'').〔Jutta Jain- Newbauer (1981), The step wells of Gujarat in art-historical perspective (see ''the term'').〕〔A Sanskrit English Dictionary by Monier Monier-Willams, originally published in 1899 by Clarendon Press Oxford, reprinted by Motilal Banarasidass.〕 In Rajasthan and Gujarat the words for step well include baoli, bavadi, vav, vavdi and vavadi.〔http://www.rainwaterharvesting.org/Rural/Traditional2.htm〕 Water temples〔http://www.designflute.wordpress.com/2007/09/.../water_temples_of_india/ Water Temples of India〕 and temple step wells were built in ancient India and the earliest forms of step well and reservoir were also built in India in places like Dholavira as far back as the Indus Valley Civilisation.
