[Leica] Qutb Shai Tombs, Hyderabad

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

 I had been to the former princely state of Hyderabad, India a few weeks ago.
The Qutb Shahi tombs were in total disrepair, and crumbling into oblivion,
when I used to stay in Hyderabad in the 1970s and 1980s. The Aga Khan
Foundation has taken up an ambitious programme of restoring these
magnificent set of tombs, belonging to the rulers of this area in the 16th
and 17th centuries. Work is still going on, but the results are already
unambiguously visible!
