Qazion Ki Bawdi (Qazion Step Well) - 1485 A.D.

Qazion stepwell

This bawdi was constructed by Mehran the second of the Qazi family during the reign of Dalat A Sher Khan Gazi in the year 1485 A.D. This bawdi appears like a bracelet with a circular well and long winding staircases that descend in spirals against the edges down into the

well. Along the staircases are two inscriptions in Nask Script and Farsi language. The inscription tells that four constructions here have been done during the rule of Dalat A Sher Khan Gazi. They are this bawdi, a beautiful palace guesthouse, a mosque, and a garden. The inscription states that the guesthouse is built to resemble a famous palace in Bagdad and has been constructed near the bawdi. It also states the garden here is known as Atishey Namrood. The garden is now in ruin and the palace almost destroyed, however the mosque and bawdi can still be seen.
The writer of the inscription had prayed to Allah that the water of this bawdi should taste like sugar and honey until the end of the world. Qazion Ki Bawdi is situated at the North Western side of the main city and is near the Purana Madrasa (Old School).
