The conservation works of the three Mausoleums of Hakims and a commander at the Qutub Shahi Heritage Park, which began two years ago have ended. The restoration work was done by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) with the support of the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Republic of Germany. Ratish Nanda, CEO of AKTC, said: "All the three structures are ornamented with stucco plaster and their majestic domes have been topped with finials. The finial of one of the mausoleums, which was missing was also replaced during the conservation works. The works were carried out by master craftsmen using traditional materials such as lime mortar and stone."
