Frescos of 17th century Delhi monument revamped
Hindustan TimesNestled within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park in south Delhi, nearly 100 metres from the south entrance of Qutub Minar, is the tomb of Muhammad Quli Khan from the early 17th century — a site which has been brimming with activity over the past month. Specialised fresco artists are working on the tomb to preserve the original ornamentation,” said Sanjay Garg, deputy director, department of archaeology. Neha Syed, one of the fresco artists, said that the tomb demonstrated art influence from the Samarkand region and a confluence of diverse design patterns in niches and windows. We have used natural colours since the goal of conservation is to preserve the tomb in the manner it originally was,” said Syed, from Bhopal, who has previously worked on multiple heritage structures across Madhya Pradesh including the Gwalior Fort.
