Dwarka Baoli ( also known as Loharehri Baoli ) is a historical stepwell discovered in 2011 in Dwarka Sub City, in south west New Delhi, India. It was constructed for the residents of Loharehri village by the Sultans of the Lodi Dynasty in the early 16th century. Dwarka now stands where the Loharehri village once stood.

Located in a barren stretch of land between a residential society and a private school on Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector 12, Dwarka, it was hidden by a large group of Peepal trees and covered by a thick undergrowth which seems to have aided in its relative obscurity. It is mentioned in Maulvi Zafar Hasan's 1910 Monuments list which says it was not very deep and had 22 steps.

It was restored by the State archeological department and INTACH Delhi Chapter and restoration was completed in 2015. Related report timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Delhi-Dwarkas-Lo...
