Three more magnificent structures of Qutb Shahi architecture will come to life at the 7-tomb complex, as the restoration works on the Hakims and Commanders mausoleum were finally completed. The three structures will now wear an ornate look as the works have been completed with the efforts of master craftsmen who have spent over 2 years for restoration. The entire project was co-funded by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chennai and Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). One of the highlights of this restoration was the use of traditional materials like lime mortar and stone and traditional building tools which were put to use under the supervision of a multi-disciplinary AKTC team.
