Guiding light, then and now

Near Fort Flagstaff in Visakhapatnam, a 19th-century lighthouse had long stood in disrepair, until a restoration brought it back to life. In partnership with the Visakhapatnam Port Trust, we repaired the dome, restored the stonework, and revived its surrounding grounds. During the process, a cannon dated 1802 was uncovered and now stands preserved at the site. What was once overlooked is now a proud landmark once more. Because the past isn’t just meant to be remembered - it’s meant to be restored, especially when it still has light to give.
