द्वारका बावली Dvārkā Bāvlī
A stepwell discovered in 2011 under the foliage of thick vegetation and undergrowth and hidden behind a large group of tall trees. The Dwaraka Baoli finds a mention in the list of Maulvi Zafar Hasan of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Maulvi Zafar Hasan documented the list of baolis in 1910 and listed over 100 baolis in and around Delhi. It was listed as the Loharheri Baoli or the Blacksmith’s stepwell. It is a 22-step stepwell or baoli, made of rubble masonry. The well, now covered by an iron grill, is situated on the southern end of the baoli. The side wall contains two sets of recessed arches. It is a small baoli with no ornamentation and not much of general tourist interest.

The third Dilli Haat after the first one in South New Delhi. It is a wonderful place to get crafts from all over the country. What is distinctive here is that the artists themselves come to sell their goods, so your money goes directly to them, rather than to middlemen. Some bargaining may be necessary if you want the best price. Prices are higher than elsewhere, but the modest entry fee keeps out beggars, ripoff artists, and most touts. Many visitors find the mellow atmosphere worth the extra cost of shopping here. It also has a section called Foods of India. This has a huge number of restaurants, each showcasing the food of a particular state of India. (Most of them give a mix of Chinese and Indian food, but state delicacies are also included). This section is a must-go for the foodie-cum-tourist.
