The skyline of Hyderabad recently changed yet again on as the Telangana Department of Archaeology and Museums (DAM) unveiled the tilework of the Mohammed Qutb Shah’s tomb at the foothills of the Golconda Fort in India. “This work has been going on for a few months. We finished the dome portion and will continue with the petals on the neck of the dome, cornices and minarets. This restoration gives us an understanding of the Qutb Shahi art and architectural heritage and we hope it will add to the aura of the heritage park,” said Ratish Nanda, CEO of Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) India, which is carrying out the work in collaboration with the DAM. The conservation effort on Sultan Mohammed’s tomb is part of a corporate social responsibility initiative of the IndiGo Airlines through Interglobe Foundation with AKTC and the Telangana Department of Archaeology and Museums
