Media in India are discussing the official reopening of Humayun’s Tomb, a 16th-century mausoleum in Delhi, after six years of restoration work.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reopened the Unesco World Heritage Site on Wednesday and praised the efforts of the craftsmen involved in the project.
Mr Singh said it provided employment to thousands of master craftsmen through the public-private partnership model.
Apart from government departments, non-government organisations like The Aga Khan Trust for Culture and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust also played an important role in the restoration work.
“The mausoleum is back to its original splendour along with the revival of the Mughal-era craftsmanship in its vicinity,” says the Deccan Herald.
