The monument dates back to Sikander Lodhi rule. It is said to have been built by Daulat Khan. The monument comes under Mehrauli Archaeological Park and located in the middle of the park. You will find security guard here. The water of the baoli/stepwell is either dried up or full of algae and waste most of the time. No proper sanitation and cleanliness is done. At certain places, it smells foul. People through garbage which is also a concern.

The baoli is in a well preserved form however, the well at the end is full of litter. A quiet place to sit and relax after the tiring walk of Mehrauli village.

Probably the first baoli I've seen with a mosque and tomb located adjacent to it, Rajon ki Baoli got its name from from \Rajbirs\ (Mistri's/Mason's) in the early 20th century due to the presence of these Rajbirs who had moved in permanently into the deserted mosque. This complex was built around 1506 CE in the Lodhi Era by an administrator, Daulat Khan and has all the markings of a pre-Mughal building. The tiny bit of blue tiled mosaics on tomb of the tomb makes one realise how colourful this spot once was under the bright Indian sun. Nothing remains but darkened roofs and walls within the mosque but the intensely organic cartouche on the outside does indicate that care and time were taken to build this complex ergo the mosque must have been very well decorated too. Located within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, there no tickets to enter but it's quiet a walk from the main gate and the pathway is a bit steep. Not recommended for people with reduced mobility.

The place is amazing to see the great idea of Mughal architecture. It is great to see how 3 - 4 floors are made to facilitate water. It Boli has a masjid (now abandoned) attached to it. Boli gets its water from a well which is deep as 5 floors !!
