Nothing much is known about the stepwell and its builder. But architectural features state that it dates back over 300 years and was built during the Nizam rule. The Pharaoh & Co map mentions the well as Naganah Kunta in their 1954 map' Later a Britisher named T.H. Keyes developed the area and the project was funded by local businessman Seth Bansilal, after whom the stepwell is popularly known. In the 1980s two men died falling into the well. After this, the well was abandoned and turned into a garbage pit. In 2020 tonnes of garbage were removed and the stepwell was restored. The surrounding was landscaped and galleries were added. The galleries exhibit the transformation process along with the history of the stepwell.
