Baoli in Bayana (Rajasthan, India). According to the bilingual inscription on the site, recorded both in Persian and Sanskrit, the baoli was built in 1497 AD by Khan-i-Khanan Farmuli (Pashtun), who was Sultan Sikandar Lodi's governor of Bayana.
The bilingual inscription on the site is recorded both in Persian and in Sanskrit, indicating the regard of Pashtun rulers of Bayana for the Hindu population. Mehrdad Shokoohy believes that the Baoli was likely constructed to provide water exclusively for Hindus.
Half of the Lodi empire under Sikander Lodi was held by the Farmulis/Parmulis. In Afghanistan they are found in Urgun (Paktika).
