Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at the Qutub Shahi Heritage Park.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy reaffirmed the government’s commitment to preserve Telangana’s architectural masterpieces and its rich history, culture, and traditions spanning thousands of years.
The Chief Minister was speaking at the closing ceremony of the Qutub Shahi Heritage Park restoration project on Sunday, which was organised by the Telangana government and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
Highlighting Telangana’s rich history, culture, and traditions, he said these reflected in the architectural masterpieces such as Charminar, Golconda Fort, and Qutub Shahi Tombs, apart from temples such as Thousand Pillar temple, Ramappa Temple, and Alampur Temple. He also recalled that Satavahana, Kakatiya, and Qutub Shahi dynasties had their rich cultural imprints on the region.
Mr. Reddy, who participated in the meeting along with Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, recalled that Telangana was home to UNESCO World Heritage sites like Ramappa Temple and the region had great potential to showcase Telangana on the world map.
He expressed gratitude to the generosity of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture that has taken up the restoration of the Qutub Shahi Tombs. It is one of the biggest conservation efforts globally by any Trust covering over 100 monuments across 106 acres.
The Qutub Shahi Heritage Park, which includes the Seven Tombs of the Qutub Shahi dynasty, stands as a testament to architectural excellence. Telangana government is a partner in restoration of the tombs. Prince Rahim Aga Khan of the Aga Khan Trust, Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao, and senior officials from the Tourism Department were present.
