‘Badi Baoli’ or large step-well is a functional step well collecting rain water from a large catchment area as well as linked to a network of aqueducts running throughout the site. First built in the 16th century, major additions and alterations were carried out here in the 19th century when the arcaded corridor and passageway running throughout the lower floor as well as stairways were built, significantly raising the level of masonry of the structure.
