Stones : The God gift
to India
The God gifted India the extensive and rich mineral
deposits including the dimensional and decorative stones
like Marble, Granite, Sandstone, Limestone, Slate, Quartzite
etc. We are exploring, quarrying, dressing and shaping
the stones for ages. The tradition of exploring and
shaping in India is turned more systematic and refined
from using chisels in ancient time to mechanised well
equipped machinery. We are still competent and leader
in our stone quarrying, mining, shaping and carving
tradition. In the recent decades India is among the
world leader in selling and exporting stones and stone
articles.
The tradition of
exploring and stone carving
Shilpis chiseled the stones and gave them the shape
of statues for worship, carved the columns and pillars
and delivered them for ornamentation of temples and
palaces. The Stone carving of Khajuraho, Dilwara and
Ranakpur are still a magical architectural wonder. In
recent years of history this tradition is visible in
National monuments like Parliament House, President
House, National Museum etc. In recent time the Swaminarayan
temples like Akshardham (Ahmedabad) and many others
in India are the current examples of this continuing
rich tradition.
