Purana Qila Baoli (left) is a 16th-century stepwell built by Ruler Sher Shah Suri. Wazirpur Gumbad Baoli (right) was supposedly built during the reign of the Lodi Dynasty between 1451 and 1526. The actual details are still unknown.
The oldest Baoli was supposed to have been in Anangtal behind Jogmaya temple, built in the 12th century or earlier. There are some ruins found in the forest area but without excavations, it will be difficult to say where the Baoli existed and how old was it.
The Largest Baoli areawise in Delhi is Feroz Shah Kotla Baoli. The deepest Baoli existing Baoli is the Gandhak Baoli and the deepest dried-up Baoli is the East Baoli in Tughlaqabad Fort.
