Our aim is to get World Heritage City status to Hyderabad city.”
As part of restoration work, six historic baolis or stepwells in Quli Qutb Shah Tombs Garden has been beautified as part of Hyderabad’s bid for World Heritage City status.
The Tombs Garden as per experts, is unique and incomparable to any site in the world and it spread over in 106 acre area.
