A bird's-eye view of Humayun's Tomb complex conservation
More

Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) CEO, Ratish Nanda, says that the idea for Sunder Nursey was to develop a high-quality space in the significant cultural landscape where citizens can mingle without the social barriers of religion, caste and class. It is a beautiful example of ecological conservation as well. The grand 90-acre Sunder Nursery features nursery beds, a flower showcase, arboretum and a microhabitat zone, and is a refreshing relief from the pollution and traffic that mars Delhi otherwise. Till date, the park boasts of about 280 native tree species, 80 bird species and 36 butterfly species. The Nursery, which hosts rich biodiversity in terms of flora and fauna, is also a learning centre. Madhav, a class 8th student currently studying crops in his science class, shared that he and his classmates are lucky to see live specimens of crops and vegetation in one area, a privilege his parents did not have while growing up.

The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) will be conducting a dialogue on restoration of Qutb Shahi Tombs at Lamakaan, on 26 April. Undertaken by the Telangana Department of Archaeology and Museums and AKTC some years ago, the work at the Qutb Shahi tombs has brought about visible (and much needed) change and stability to the heritage monuments, some of which were in a precarious situation. Using archival images and artisans who were specifically brought to Hyderabad for this work, the structures have been revived by expert conservation architects.
