Acrobatic Skills By Kids At Ancient Step-Well In Delhi - India Young boys jump into the water of a step-well, as captured in slow motion HD, at 200 fps, at the Nizamuddin Baoli near the dargah (shrine) of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. This baoli was constructed over 800 years ago by Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya himself. It is over 160 feet deep, surrounded by typical 14th century architecture, and even small storeyed houses. The dargah that surrounds it adds to its charm, with a stunning silver carved door and other intricate details. Three sides of the baoli are surrounded by walls and one side has a flight of stairs leading to the water. The water is considered to possess healing powers and is hence, believed to be sacred. The site has gone under major restoration work to look like it does today
