Over 1,500 children from 25 schools took a walk through the pages of history on Thursday, World Heritage Day, as they were taken on a guided tour of Isa Khan's Garden Tomb in the Humayun's Tomb complex during the unveiling of the restored monument. The 16th century monument had been undergoing conservation work for the past 27 months by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, the World Monument Foundation with the help of the Archaeological Survey of India. The restored tomb was unveiled by secretary of culture Sangeeta Gairola, president and CEO of World's Monument Fund Bonnie Burnham and ASI director-general Praveen Shrivastava on Thursday.
