Project Description

Marble Inlay work is in practice since Mughal era. Few descendants of erstwhile generations of the artisans engaged in inlay work in Mughal era are still engaged in same profession. Decorative items, sculptors and other artistic things are designed from marble and precious stone or gold wire inlay work is done over those. Sculptors created by the existing artisans of this district are used in various temples of the country. Except sculptors, replicas of various things are made here with the fine touch of marble or precious metal inlay work. Though various people are associated with this industry in different forms but only few artisans belong to original generation of artisans of Mughal era. Of all the Mughal Emperors, Shah Jahan was the greatest patron of the arts in general and architecture, in particular. For him no amount of money or time was too much to create enduring, everlasting architectural wonders that would wow the world and stand the test of centuries of time. It is in his buildings that one sees the confluence of Mughal art and Italian pietra Dura. This industry has huge potential and employability to support rural population.
