The Bowalis

There are 3 Baolis in the fort. These were made by cutting deep into the lime rock

Bari  (Main) Bowali
It is in the middle of the Fort for soldiers, elephants, horses etc. This Baoli has 148 steps (now 134 left due to filling of mud). Each step is 20 cm (8 inches) wide. The upper portion has been cut in stone. It has three arches that span the length of the baoli.

The Sar Gate Bowali
