This well dates back to the Mughal period and features architectural elements from later periods as well. It is a circular structure constructed using traditional Lakhori bricks and lime mortar. The well has been plastered with lime, and its diameter is approximately 3 meters. The entire area is enclosed by a rectangular wall, which also includes pavements and a parapet surrounding the well. At present, the well is covered with a circular iron grill that has a ribbed pattern. The architectural style reflects Indo-Persian influences, and although no specific local or traditional description is associated with the site, it stands as a significant example of historical Mughal architecture.
