1959-62 Survey


Round well that was called Cāh-i Khāṣ. Located west of the Green Park residential area, to the north of the road leading from Mihrawlī Road to Ḥauẓ Khāṣ. Grid ref. G-11

This well is now completely collapsed and buried; only part of the stonework on the north side remains. It is presumed from this small part that the outside of the round well had twelve sides. Originally this well had a marble inscription with the name of Sikandar Shāh, a sulṯān from the Lodī Dynasty, and the year 915 A.H. (1509 A.D.), but the inscription is now preserved in the Red Fort Museum. Period III.

チャーヘ・ハース(Cāh-i Khāṣ特別な井戸)とよばれていた円井戸で,グリーンーパーク住宅地の西方,メヘローリー・ロードからハウズ・ハースにむかう道路の北側にある。附図.G-11

現在では,まったく埋没崩壊して、わずかにその北側の一部の石積みをのこしているにすぎないが,その部分から推定すると,この円井戸の外側は,十二角形をなしていたらしい。この井戸には,もと,ローディー朝のスィカンダル・シャーの名と,915A.H(1509A.D.)の年次とを記した,大理石の碑文がのこっていたが,現在では,レッドフォートの博物館に保管されている。第Ⅲ期。

2015-18 Survey


The cut stonework can be seen in a jungle in a park. It has been abandoned; it is poorly maintained and is collecting rubbish.

According to Monuments of Delhi, it had a round shaft 6.6m in diameter. In the 1959-62 photos, the cut stonework of the round shaft and the surrounding octagonal section can be seen. Its distinguishing characteristic is that the cut stones are considerably larger than those used in the round wells of W1 to W10.


現在は公園内のジャングルの中に、表面の切石積みを確認できる。放置されたまま、ゴミが集まり、管理状況は悪い。

Monuments of Delhiによると直径6.6mの円形シャフトをもつ。1959-62年の写真には、円形シャフト部分の切石積みと周囲の8角形部分が残る。W1から10までの円井戸に比べ、かなりの大きさの切石が使われる点が特色である。
