The water well or Baoli in the Fort complex is said to be the important source of water to the fortress. The circular well which is open to the sky, had pulleys to lift water. This complex system of pipes and channels pumped water to the roof of two stores rooms around the well.
The main complex has a Pyramidal Structure supporting the Ashoka Pillar - which lends a sense of historical significance to the fort; this sandstone column was brought from Ambala by Firoz Shah.
Firoz Shah was a well-known builder, who was recognized for the construction of several mosques, hunting lodges, reservoirs for irrigation, collages in and around Delhi.
