Baoli Ghaus Ali Shah

[2] The baoli was built to be a high point for surveying the area and also served as a perennial source of fresh water away from the access of the enemy who might poison or spoil it.

[3] The central water tank is approximately 6.5 meters deep, with an arched verandah overlooking the inner core and a well wall for a pulley system on one side.

[2] Built from stone, lime plaster, and bricks, its construction wears some resemblance with the Turkish hammam and reflects the Mughal architectural style prevalent during the 18th century.

[4] Historically, the baoli was used as a water tank catering to the Sheesh Mahal and may have served as a bathing space for women, as evidenced by hidden passages at both ends.

In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and protect Baoli Ghaus Ali Shah, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience its beauty and tranquility.
