Iran to restore Qutb Shahi tombs
HYDERABAD: A delegation of Iranian conservators and experts in Iranian architecture are meticulously researching and preparing documentation to conserve the historic Qutb Shahi tombs near Golconda.
The team, which recently visited the twin cities, has prepared an action plan to restore the dilapidated tombs following a request from Hossein Ravesh, Consul-General of Iran, Hyderabad.
To begin with, Badshahi Ashoorkhana, Qutb Shahi tombs and Premavati mosque will be brought back to glory. The experts are planning to replicate and restore the Iranian style of gardens at the tombs. After completing restoration works, the Iranian officials will approach the UNESCO to declare the Qutb Shahi tombs as a World Heritage Site.
" Our team of experts has been doing a research on these tombs for the past three months. In association with the Archaeology Department here, we are taking up the restoration," Mr. Ravesh said.
