Radha Krishna Temple, Ramtatwali

We could revive the strength of frescoes at Ramtatwali, Hoshiarpur. Paintings were covered with layers of vegetation, grime and dirt. Many were already destroyed with the fallen walls. Our team documented and saved whatever paintings were left

Conservation of mural paintings
Sri Harmandar Saheb Ji

Wall painting conservation · Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee · 2013–2016

Mohra Kashi frescoes, overpainted for a century and never before conserved, treated inside a working temple.

Cleaning was calibrated panel by panel, flaking paint consolidated, and losses filled in conservation-grade lime. We in-painted only where paint was lost, never over original work. The site set the limits: no solvent could carry an odour, and some areas allowed only forty minutes of work a night.

Diwan Todar Mal (Jahazi) Haveli

Structural conservation and rebuilding Diwan Todar Mal Haveli Virasati Foundation; November 2025 – ongoing

A seventeenth-century Mughal-period haveli in massive lime-brick masonry, being restored, stabilised and partly rebuilt — documented by LiDAR, with repair mortars matched through XRF analysis, walls raised in Nanakshahi brick and lime, roofs closed by traditional corbelling, and seismic performance improved with basalt fibre mesh. No cement at any stage.
