From an old antique monument and neighbouring buildings, village boys jump into the equally old well at the Nizamuddin Dargah in New Delhi, India. Scampering up walls, using crevices as foot-holds, they make their way to the top of the building! One way to deal with the 45 degrees Celcius summer heat of 2012, and lots of spare summer-time... Boy jumping into step-well at the Nizamuddin Dargah This baoli or step-well at Nizamuddin was built by Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya in the years 1321-22; it has a dargah attached to it and many pilgrims consider its water as holy, it is a major convergence point during the annual urs. It is also the only Baoli in Delhi still with underground springs with pure water. This footage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderne
