How To Reach Baulia Pool

Sasaram, Bihar, India
The Baulia Pool is a historical water reservoir or tank located in Sasaram, most famously associated with the Sur Empire and its founder, Sher Shah Suri (16th century). The name "Baulia" is locally thought to be derived from the word for a well or a water source, and historical accounts suggest it w as traditionally used by the emperor's consorts or the royal ladies for bathing and ritual ablutions. Its proximity to the magnificent Tomb of Sher Shah Suri, which stands in the middle of a large artificial lake, suggests that the Baulia Pool was part of the larger royal waterworks and garden complex, indicating the sophisticated urban planning and architectural emphasis on water bodies during the Sur dynasty's rule. While the artificial lake surrounding the tomb is the primary focus, the Baulia Pool represents a more intimate, practical, and historically significant part of the royal precinct. Its design and structure would have been created not just for utility but also to provide a cooling, secluded, and aesthetically pleasing environment in the hot climate of Bihar. Today, it remains a historical landmark, providing context to the life and environment of the Sur royalty and offering a picturesque, tranquil spot for visitors exploring the Sher Shah Suri Tomb complex. The water bodies are crucial elements of the Indo-Afghan architectural style prevalent in Sasaram.

How to Reach

By Air: The nearest major airport is Gaya International Airport (GAY, 120 KMs), or Varanasi Airport (VNS, 140 KMs). From there, hire a pre-paid taxi for the 2. 5 to 3-hour drive to Sasaram. Once in Sasaram, the pool is part of the famous tomb complex, easily reachable.

By Train: The nearest major railhead is Sasaram Junction Railway Station (SSM), located about 3 KMs away. The station is a major stop on the Howrah-New Delhi Grand Chord line. From the station, an auto-rickshaw or a local taxi is the quickest and easiest way to reach the Sher Shah Suri Tomb complex and the Baulia Pool.

By Road: Sasaram lies directly on the historically important NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road). The city is well-connected by road to Patna (150 KMs), Varanasi (140 KMs), and Gaya (120 KMs). The pool, being part of the most famous landmark, is easily signposted and accessible via local roads that branch off the main highway near the city.

By Local Transport: From any part of Sasaram city, the most reliable and common local transport is the auto-rickshaw. Negotiate a return fare, as this location is slightly away from the main city traffic hub, or use a ride-sharing taxi app if available in the area.
