In India, AKTC began by restoring the gardens of Humayun's Tomb, as a gift to India from His Highness the Aga Khan. Following the completed garden restoration in 2004, AKTC expanded its activities to encompass an urban renewal project that comprises the adjoining areas of Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti, Sundar Nursery and the Humayun's Tomb complex. AKTC has provided a set of stunning photographs of Humayun's Tomb at night taken by India's ace architectural photographer Ram Rahman. "New LED lights at the monuments will reduce the power consumption by 90%," says Ratish Nanda, CEO of AKTC. He said that the illumination of the dome was a challenge because lighting had to be designed in a way to prevent any shadow on its surface.
