The restoration of the Paigah Tombs, a hidden historical site in Hyderabad, is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Located just a few kilometres from Charminar in the Old City, these tombs once belonged to the powerful Paigah family. “The restoration is being carried out with great attention to detail and requires highly skilled craftsmanship to preserve the delicate designs,” said a member of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), which is executing the conservation. “We hope to complete the work by year-end,” he informed. Despite the ongoing work, the site remains open to the public. “Visitors are welcome throughout the restoration period. By the end of the year, major conservation works, particularly those aimed at preserving intricate surface ornamentation and artwork, will be complete,” an AKTC representative said.
