In this episode of Ravish Ki Report, we visit Humayun's tomb and speak to the personnel in charge of renovating the monument. Huge efforts are being made in replenishing the original splendour and design of the building. Artisans having the traditional expertise of constructing such monuments have been brought over from Bharatpur for the purpose. One of the contractors in charge of supervising the activities says that it takes an entire day to manually make a single four square foot brick for the monument.
