I took this photo during my return to Delhi after five years — a city that always feels both familiar and new. One of my first stops was Agrasen ki Baoli (also transcribed as Ugrasen), the ancient stepwell that had been among the very first sites I explored when I first came to India. So much has changed since then: its quiet, almost hidden charm has given way to curious crowds and photographers drawn by its fame. I had to see it again, especially for the reopening.

Despite the popularity, this baoli remains a remarkable place — still echoing with history, geometry, and stories that linger in its stone steps. Revisiting it felt like closing a circle, reconnecting with the beginnings of my photographic journey in India .
