New Delhi: A striking sang-e-marmar stone chair captivated guests during the inauguration of the underground Humayun World Heritage Site Museum on Monday. It belonged to the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar and marked the end of an empire that spanned more than 300 years.

HYDERABAD, INDIA

JULY 28, 2024

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

May I begin by extending my gratitude to the government and people of India and Telangana for their warm welcome and hospitality.

Prince Rahim and Prince Aly Muhammad began a visit to India yesterday at the Aga Khan Hostel and Aga Khan Academy in Hyderabad, meeting staff and students to hear about their experiences.

Education has long been a central theme of AKDN’s work in India. The first Aga Khan school was founded in Mundra, Kutch in 1905. During Mawlana Sultan Mohammed Shah’s Diamond Jubilee in the 1940s, more schools were established in India and Pakistan, particularly for girls.

Hyderabad: It is not everyday that history lovers have something to cheer for in the city, given the sorry state of our heritage. Which is why Sunday, July 28, 2024, will probably go down as a watershed moment in the years to come, as it marks the formal completion of the spectacular restoration of the historic Qutb Shahi tombs complex in the city by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and the state

NEW DELHI: The Humayun World Heritage Site Museum, set to be inaugurated on July 29, brings to life the 700 years of pluralistic cultural traditions of the ancient city’s historic neighbourhoods– Nizamuddin, named after 13th century Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya.

With the help of 3-D illustrations, immersive screens, replicas of Mughal era architecture and rare artefacts, the museum records the life of emperor Humayun and the profound connections which the Mughals shared with the ‘sacred Sufi landscape’ of the city.

New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The “country’s first” sunken museum at the magnificent Humayun’s Tomb site in Delhi that marries modern 21st-century architecture with Mughal-era craftsmanship in its design is all set for its inauguration next week.

The museum, whose layout is inspired by the medieval ‘baolis’ or traditional water tanks, is slated to be inaugurated by Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on June 29, coinciding with the ongoing meeting of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) in the national capital, an official source told PTI.
