In 2007, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) launched a significant conservation initiative focusing on Humayun’s Tomb, Sunder Nursery and the Nizamuddin area in Delhi. This ambitious project aimed to preserve over 60 monuments across 200 acres, including the World Heritage Site of Humayun’s Tomb. Specialised building crafts were employed and revitalised to restore these magnificent monuments, showcasing the extensive work performed by master craftsmen under the auspices of AKTC. From the project's inception, the interdisciplinary team recognised the importance of maintaining the monuments' authenticity. To achieve this, it was essential to employ the remarkable building craft techniques originally used by 16th-century Mughal builders. These craftspeople included stone carvers, masons, lime plasterers, glazed tile makers and coppersmiths, among others. The same craftsmanship was applied to the landscape restoration efforts and, since 2013, at the Qutub Shahi Tombs in Hyderabad.
