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!
