Bauli at Qadam Sharif (Mission for Indian History and Archaeology)
New Delhi, India

1959-62 Survey


Called the Bā'olī of Qadam Sharīf. Located approximately 600 m north-northwest of New Delhi Railway Station, inside the Qadam Sharīf complex, located about 200 m west of Quṯb Road. Grid ref. H-6

ASI describes a bā'olī (step-well) that was previously located here, with a well and two levels of underground rooms. In the entrances of nearby residences, there are still a few stones that can be seen to form an arc; these stones may have formed part of the outer rim of the well. The other parts have probably become buried in the earth. Period II (?)

カダム・シャリーフのバーオリーとよぶ。ニューデリー鉄道駅の北北西約600メートル,クトゥブ・ロードの西約200メートルのカダム・シャリーフの城壁内にある。附図.H-6

かつて、この場所に,井戸と二層の地下室とをもつバーオリーがあったことを,ASIは記しているが,現在,附近の家屋の入口に,円弧をなす数個の石が認められる。おそらくは,これが井戸の外縁の一部をなすものであったと思われる。他の部分は,土中に埋もれてしまったのであろう。第Ⅱ期(?)。

2015-18 Survey


This is located in an extremely crowded area and could not be found. The photos in Delhi only show the stone parts.


現在は、非常に立て込んでおり、所在を確認することはできなかった。『デリー』に記載される写真も石の部分だけである。

Monuments of Delhiによれば、切石積みで、階段は東から西へ向かい、西面は2層、各層に3アーチの部屋が2つずつあった。上階の部屋は3.7m四方、下階は4.2mかける3.7mであった。井戸の内幅は、2.7mかける2.3mであった。おそらく、井戸は西端に位置した。


(Paragraph 2nd from the 2015-18 Survey is translated using Google Translate)


According to Monuments of Delhi, it was made of cut stone, with a staircase running from east to west, and the west side had two floors, each with two three-arched rooms. The upper floor room was 3.7m square, and the lower floor was 4.2m x 3.7m. The inside width of the well was 2.7m x 2.3m. The well was probably located at the western end.
