    Sacred Spaces - Nizammudin's renewal - In conversation with AKTC's CEO, Ratish Nanda

    The Nizammuddin stepwell or baoli was built by the Sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia in the years 1321-22. The Nizamuddin Baoli is the only surviving stepwell in Delhi which still has underground springs and is still used for drinking water. The water from this baoli is considered to have miraculous powers and continues to be held in reverence. 700 years later, Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), under the National Culture Fund has renewed the area with the work they've done on Humayun's tomb, Sunder Nursery and other sites. this includes building biodiversity and water bodies. I talk to AKTC's CEO, Ratish Nanda about how and what all they've done to create a place that makes you say 'if there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here'.
