Nearly 100 benches at Sunder Nursery in New Delhi are being repaired and restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), which has restored the park. Brought from Gujarat through antique dealers, the benches, are either Victorian originals or inspired by them and prepared in metal workshops in England and Scotland. They took several months to repair as their original designs and patterns had to be restored. "These benches will supplement the sandstone benches that are to be placed along the pathways and lakes,"said an AKTC official.
