The largest and most artistic among the three baolis in Mehrauli is the Rajon ki Baoli — a stepwell once used by Rajon (masons). Four levels down, the baoli holds some dirty water with plastic, and algae growth in it. "This is some kuan," one of them says while the other responds, "This is Gandhak ki baoli, everyone says this is that sulphur water of Mehrauli." (Gandhak ki baoli is several metres away from here and the men are not even sure what a baoli is). Desilting of the stepwell was carried out up to 6.1 metres, following which the water level rose to 20 feet.
