In New Dehli, the mausoleum, known as Rahim’s Tomb, stood in ruins with a risk of collapse until 2014, when the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) in partnership with InterGlobe Foundation and the Archaeological Survey of India – began their conservation efforts. The work was completed recently and the tomb was thrown open to the public on the 464th birth anniversary of Rahim on 17 December. AKTC India CEO Ratish Nanda says, "We are doing restoration work in the Nizamuddin area. Here, we had to strengthen the entire foundation, without which this building would not have stood. In a nutshell, we did emergency conservation."
