Delhi's Sunder Nursery chosen for 2 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for conservation

Delhi's iconic Sunder Nursery, a 90-acre garden which was transformed into a horticultural paradise after a decade-long conservation work, is among the winners in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation this year. The centrepiece of the park, located near UNESCO heritage site of Humayun's Tomb, is the Sunder Burj, a Mughal-era tomb endowed with embellished artwork on its inside dome and walls. "We are delighted that Sunder Nursery is being celebrated and now recognised by UNESCO too," said an official of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture which carried out the conservation work.
