The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) recently held an exhibition of 20 artworks made on the conservation effort being undertaken by it at India International Centre, New Delhi. Titled "The Portraits of Conservation" these paintings illustrate views of the monuments as they were expected to appear post conservation or as they had once appeared. The artist behind these works, Himanish Das worked with AKTC on conservation projects, starting with some projects in Mehrauli, and eventually being involved with Humayun’s Tomb and many other monuments in Delhi and Hyderabad. Talking about architecture and art, Dast said "I believe these are our irreplaceable assets and should be preserved for the future generations."
