This baoli of Sher Shah Suris period is constructed of bricks. A long flight of steps leads down to the water level. These steps are not roofed to a distance of about 24.2 m but below, these are covered with dome and arched roof. The entrance to the baoli is marked by two minarets which form an unusual feature not to be found on any such building.
