Wonders of Hyderabad: 200 years old Paigah Tombs to be renovated by the Aga Khan Trust for CultureThe Paigah Tombs, decorated in stucco work, represent Mughul, Greek, Persian, Asafjahi, Rajasthani and Deccani styles, have no parallel in the city in terms of style of architecture.

The conservation part is being undertaken by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and the amenities for the interpretation systems such as lighting, pathways, compound wall, landscaping and other facilities for tourists would be done by the Archaeology department.
