Agrasen ki Baoli , Delhi

1. I never saw a heritage site with such a marvelous ancient architecture before. It was the Agrasen ki Baoli that was an ancient step well of the Mahabharata era built by a Kshatriya king Agrasen or Ugrasen.

2. I was really inspired by the symmetry in the step well and the descending steps that lead to a tall structure that was bilateral symmetry that was so appealing to look at.

3. It was my first trip with my 3 classmates Saumyadeep, Anshudeeep and Tulen since we met in the class. It was also the first time I came to Delhi and went to a few more heritage sites like Red Fort and Jantar Mantar and create a bond with my classmates.

4. Outside the Agrasen ki Baoli, I saw some inspiring, funky graffiti or wall art that was very contrasting to the heritage site but in total it made a really good visual treat combo for the younger and the older generations too.

5. I also saw a cat that was having her own heritage holiday in the step well and was also a center of attraction for the people too look at. I also noticed the place was located in a pretty peaceful environment despite being in the center of the city. Overall I had lots of fun.
