Centuries’-old Indian craft and modern technology come together to restore Humayun’s Tomb to its past glory

Priyanka Sharma & Veenu Sandhu / New Delhi Apr 22, 2012

It is a scorching April afternoon and the Humayun’s Tomb complex in Nizamuddin is bursting with life. Armed with their swank cameras, tourists from various countries attempt to capture every nook and corner of this World Heritage Site. Teachers lead groups of students across the structure, dictating lessons in history along the way. No one notices a group of labourers hard at work in various pockets of the complex.
