Mehrauli Archaeological Park is green, grand, and has one of Delhi, India’s greatest densities of centuries-old monuments. But most are floundering between neglect, vandalism, administrative turf wars, and a lack of imagination. Hopes for a Sunder Nursery-Humayun’s Tomb-style makeover seem more like a pipe dream. While Mehrauli is often seen as a missed opportunity, another Delhi park—Sunder Nursery near Humayun’s Tomb—is credited with having struck the perfect balance. Its 90 acres were once home to about a hundred monuments, of which 60 remain, many restored by the Aga Khan Trust. “We did certain things right. We got the Archaeological Survey of India, the Central Public Works Department and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to sign a single piece of paper, even though they have very different mandates,” said Ratish Nanda, COO of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, India. “It took two years for us to agree with every single agency.” Sunder Nursery’s success, Nanda added, is a testament to the key role played by corporate and civil society groups in heritage management. He also emphasised the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, landscape architects, designers, archival researchers, and photographers.
