Question 1

What is Makrana marble and why is it special?

Accepted Answer

Makrana marble is quarried exclusively from Makrana, Rajasthan, India — the same source used to build the Taj Mahal. Its pure white colour, fine crystalline structure, and exceptional durability make it the finest carving marble in India. It polishes to a depth that reveals natural veining and accepts intricate hand-carving with a precision no alternative material can match.

Question 7

Is Makrana marble suitable for outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when correctly sealed. We offer dedicated exterior-grade products including garden fountains, outdoor fireplaces, exterior facade cladding, and outdoor mandirs, all treated with weather-resistant sealants rated for rain, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuation. Always specify outdoor use when enquiring.

Question 8

What is the difference between polished and honed marble finishes?

Accepted Answer

Polished marble has a high-gloss mirror-like finish that brings out the depth of natural veining, standard for mandirs, tabletops, and decorative pieces. Honed marble is ground to a smooth, matte surface that feels more tactile and subdued, preferred for wall cladding and contemporary minimalist interiors. Both finishes are available across our range.

Question 9

How do I care for and maintain marble products?

Accepted Answer

Clean marble with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic products such as vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach. Mandirs and decorative pieces need only regular dusting. Bathtubs, basins, and tabletops come sealed from our workshop and should be resealed every 2 to 3 years. Outdoor marble should be resealed every 1 to 2 years.
