OUTCOME:

• The ornamental details on the columns, arches, arch crowns and the internal surface were restored.
• To ensure no water ingress, stones were placed on the existing openings for rain water spouts.
• The missing portions of the edging stones on the upper and lower plinth were restored with matching texture.
• To ensure long term preservation, granite stone slabs were laid with lime mortar over a layer of base lime concrete on the flooring of the monument and plinth.
• The existing plinth wall was covered with cement pointing which was showing signs of damage. Cement was removed and the wall was plastered with lime mortar.
• The steps, which were earlier missing, were re-instated on the eastern side of the tomb.

IMPACT:

Though one of the minor structures in the complex, major conservation works were required to be undertaken here to ensure long term preservation and to reinstate missing structural elements.
