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.
Dwarka Baoli is a historical stepwell discovered in Dwarka Sub City, in south west New Delhi, India. It was constructed for the residents of Loharehri village by the Sultans of the Lodi Dynasty in the early 16th century. Dwarka now stands where the Loharehri village once stood. Located in a barren stretch of land between a residential society and a private school on Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector 12, Dwarka, at 28-35-58.95 degree North and 77-02-38.67 degree East. It was hidden by a large group of Peepal trees and covered by a thick undergrowth which seems to have aided in its relative obscurity. It is mentioned in Maulvi Zafar Hasan's 1910 Monuments list which says it was not very deep and had 22 steps. It is under restoration by the State archeological department and work will be taken up by INTACH Delhi Chapter. In an effort to draw attention to the historic stepwell, students of Nirmal Bhartia School led by Neil Pahuja: created a microsite and virtual tour for the Dwarka Baoli, in 2024. Video Tour
