Over the last three centuries, the baoli, The 16th-century Arab Ki Serai complex near world heritage site Humayun’s Tomb, was neglected and is today in a state of partial collapse. Now, it will be thoroughly conserved as part of a project that will start this month. The work will be handled by Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), which has received financial support from the German Embassy. The project will try to replicate the success of conservation at Nizamuddin baoli that AKTC had pulled off a few years ago. AKTC also plans to re-grade the earth within the bazaar and adjoining areas of Nizamuddin East, which will help in collecting rainwater.
