At the Qutb Shahi tombs, 30 monuments have been restored under Phase 1 by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. Phase 2 of the restoration project, which include the Hayat Baksh tomb, the hamam, the serai, the Idgah bowli and the South Gate, has revealed some surprising details. At the hamam, the original stone floor was under five feet of sand and mud which were dumped from time to time. The original floor shows that it is not the mortuary bath as believed, but a bathing place for travellers who came to Golconda.
