CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
The Shahi Baoli at Hodal, Palwal district,
Haryana, is a Mughal-period stepwell built before 1611 CE. Constructed of
rubble masonry and lime mortar, it was designed to provide access to
groundwater through a stepped passage. Today, the stairway leading down to the
stepwell is partly buried under garbage.
