The tomb of Humayun, part of India’s rich heritage, was once less of a wonder than it is today. It now houses a beautiful garden and park, known as the Sunder Nursery. The team behind its transformation comes from the prestigious Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC).
Set up by His Highness The Aga Khan, the AKTC is part of a larger Aga Khan Development Network. The trust is dedicated to multiple objectives related to cultural heritage and has projects across major historic cities in the world.
“The notion of culture as an asset rather than a luxury is still a contested issue in many poorer parts of the world. As a result, a significant part of the world’s cultural heritage is at risk, as other needs are considered priorities,” says an excerpt from the official website.
