Insights

Rajasthan Marble and the Makrana Tradition

Why Rajasthan is closely associated with marble, and what the Makrana name means.

Rajasthan is one of India’s main marble-producing states. Makrana, in the Nagaur district, is especially well known for white marble that has been used in historic monuments.

A long craft tradition

Marble carving and finishing have been practised in Rajasthan for generations. Workshops produce everything from architectural elements to sculpture.

Names and origin

Trade names often refer to places or colours. Because naming is not always consistent between suppliers, buyers should ask for samples and photographs of the specific material.

Buying advice

Describe the colour and veining you need, the format and the destination so a supplier can suggest suitable options.
