SRI BAOLI SAHIB is a large, open well, 8 meters (26') across. Its water level is reached through a covered passage comprising a flight of 84 steps. A wide pointed archway opens on a domed clearance, four steps below the ground level. Its cupola is painted with multicolored floral designs and portraits of Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Hargobind, and Guru Gobind Singh.
Goindwal (also spelled Goindval) is the site of a township and Sikh shrine Goindwal Baoli, the Well of 84 Steps which was constructed in the 16th century by Guru Amar Das. Goindwal is located on the banks of the River Beas. Originally a ferry landing that connected a popular East, West crossroads of the time, Goindwal became a Sikh center and the first Sikh pilgrimage site. Goindwal has more than a dozen spiritual points of interest and continues to be a popular destination of devotees who visit the important Sikh shrines of the Tarn Taran district in Punjab, India.
