Just as the vibrant colors and rhythms pulsate through the desert state of Rajasthan, India, snowy white marble makes the perfect backdrop to showcase its myriad hues, its gold work further enhancing its luster. Each of the hand-painted motifs on it reflects the soul of the artisan.

Marble painting in Rajasthan has been traced back to the 16th century. Typically, artisans use red, green and gold paint to etch marble surfaces and turn out various products. Miniature marble paintings featuring mythological characters and famous royal personages are easily the best and most expensive examples of hand-painted marble products in Rajasthan. Several other decor items using marble painting bring the exquisite art form within reach.

All marble products are handmade. No two pieces are exactly the same. Minor color variations and imperfections contribute to the character of the art form.
