The domes required significant work to become watertight and prevent future vegetation growth. Cement plaster from the domes was carefully removed and replaced with traditional lime mortar.  Cracks and holes caused by scaffolding from past repairs were repaired and filled. Master craftsmen restored damaged or missing ornamental patterns and merlons at the base of the dome.

The finial of Taramati’s mausoleum had suffered significant damage and disorientation over the years. On closer inspection, it was revealed that the wooden mast used to keep the finial’s copper parts in plumb had deteriorated.  Water ingress from the dome’s surface had caused the corrosion. In addition, the copper vessels of the finial had been nailed to the wooden mast in earlier repairs. The wooden mast being the core skeleton of the finial was replaced with a stainless steel hollow pipe, as steel is immune to water corrosion. Then, a skilled coppersmith repaired the disfigured copper vessels to their actual shapes and profiles. The inverted bell-shaped base of the finial was embedded in rich lime mortar at the dome’s apex. Consequently, The reshaped copper parts were inserted through the steel pipe and locked within one another for further stability by skilled hands.

Craftsmen had to carefully chisel away the 20th century cement mortar from wall surfaces – internal and external – as well as from the dome. Significant effort was made to restore the original lime stucco patterns in lime mortar. Mausoleums of Taramati and Premamati are two of the four monuments in the entire Qutb Shahi Heritage Park with intact, original lattice screens made of lime mortar and thin terracotta tiles. Damaged lattice screens on the eastern and southern facades of Taramati’s mausoleum were meticulously restored matching the existing remnants. 

The twin tombs have extended plinths finished with plinth walls made of vertically installed hand-chiseled granite blocks and accessed from stone steps installed on the east side. Much of the plinth stone was missing and portions of it were displaced.  Due to constant ingress of rainwater coupled with unbridled vegetation growth led to the collapse of vertical stones lining the plinth and catalyzing deterioration. Many vertical stones lining the plinth were found collapsed and missing. Taking cue from the existing stone, large blocks of hand chiseled granite were prepared to match the texture and size of the original, and then reinstated on site.
