In Hyderabad, visitors to the historic Qutub Shahi Tombs will be mesmerized by its architectural beauty. The colourful enameled tiles were used in decorating the tombs. Quli Qutub Shah bears intricate carvings. The enameled tiling of the tomb made it unique from the other tombs. The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) CEO, Ratish Nanda, said: "Qutub Shahi Tombs are fine examples of Indo-Iranian architecture." Mr Nanda reviewed the restoration work done by AKTC in collaboration with the Telangana State Archaeology and Museums Department which started in 2013 and was unveiled by the U.S. Ambassador to India earlier this month. While restoration work paused due to the Covid-19 pandemic, work has now continued at a slower pace.
