On the occasion of Children’s Day, the Archaeological Survey of India along with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture released a children’s guidebook to the world heritage site Humayun’s Tomb here on Monday. The book is intended to encourage children to take interest in the city’s heritage.
The book was prepared by the Trust and published by ASI and is part of the Humayun’s Tomb – Nizamuddin Basti Urban Renewal Project, a not-for-profit public-private partnership initiative. Written in a story format along with illustrations, the book explains how the 450-year-old monument was built.
Authored by eminent historian Narayani Gupta and illustrated by Anitha Balachandran, it is the first site-specific guidebook in India.
