Rajon ki Baoli also referred as Rajon ki Bain is a famous stepwell in Mehrauli Archaeological Park of Delhi, India.
It was commissioned by Daulat Khan Lodi in 1506 CE, an administrator of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.
The enclosure of Rajon Ki Baoli includes a mosque and a tomb.
The name Rajon Ki Baoli is derived from the 'Rajbirs' or 'Mistris' - the term used for masons. It got its name in early 20th century because of the masons that moved in permanently into the area.
From the North, the steps lead down to the water filled in the stepwell and, from the east and west sides the stepwell is enclosed by high walls. The walls have a narrow side to walk on and twelve pillars both sides that encased arched niches.
