We went to this place called Agrasen Ki Bauli. It is a step well. It has 102 steps, and we went all the way down!It was very deep. you could feel yourself falling down.
this is how deep it was!
It is also known to be haunted! The story is that this step well belonged to king Agrasen, and all his people came and had a bath here. but then, everyone suddenly stopped coming there. The well became very sad. so it turned black and got a voice.every time someone passed by it would say in a voice you couldn't resist -"come,come to me. have a swim" and everyone would have to jump in. and of course they died. It is said that the ghosts of the people still haunt that place seeking their revenge.
but don't worry the step well is now all dried up. As it has been for many many years.

I love the baulis in Delhi and there are so many of them! But the most beautiful step wells are in Gujarat. If you ever get a chance, you must visit the Rani-ki-vav in Patan. It's seven storeys under the ground!
