The restoration work on the dome of Khan-i-Khanan Tomb at Nizamuddin is finally completed after three years of work, said the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) which, along with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), has been working on giving the entire monument a facelift since 2014. Ratish Nanda, CEO of AKTC, said stone carvers have worked for almost three years to hand chisel the heavy stone blocks that were brought from Rajasthan. Restoring the stone blocks to the base of the dome will provide additional structural stability to the monument.
