It is said that Bhaderwah had a number of natural springs around which were created steps which made them look more or less like stepped-wells. Most of these springs (or wells) have over time dried up. These wells were considered holy by the locals. |

The baoli or well, which is, essentially a natural spring and not a catchment well is small, shallow approximately 4ft side and square in plan and has five narrow steps to the floor. The baoli is fed by two sources -- an underground water source as well as a small stream which comes down the hill. The quality of water is exceptionally good and is clear with no impurities. |
