The Delhi Sketchers: 27th January 2016- A trip to Agrasen ki Baoli and CP(Connaught Place)

Agrasen ki Baoli and CP

Nikita Chhabra- At CP

Agrasen ki Baoli is an underrated gem. Not many people consider the place too touristy unlike Red Fort or Jama Masjid. Yet its a favourite place for youngsters and couples for its quiet and peaceful atmosphere and of course, the dizzy staircases that descend deep down to a dried up well. Its good for exercise too- just the sheer climbing up and down of these steps. Pigeons are the frequent visitors here and greet you with their bird droppings (just like one did on my sketchbook) and shedding old feathers. That they are everywhere is an understatement. Visit this place and you will know why.

Sketching Agrasen ki Baoli can be a daunting task and we are happy to say that we had a good time sketching ! We sketched here for a while and then descended on Connaught Place for its shops and pavement vendors. Connaught Place has a different flavour altogether- the shops, the people, the sign posts. Each one needs to be digested in for their colour, shapes, the yummy wafts from the food and little stories sprouting here and there. Making decisions here is hard and we are thinking of coming again here! Cheers till then.
