CITIES make themselves noticeable in many ways. Heritage brought alive and made accessible is one of them. This month we bring you the story of the conservation efforts at the Qutb Shahi tombs in Hyderabad.

Before the project, Hyderabad knew of a handful of tombs and monuments at the site, which was visited by local people but hardly the destination it. . .
