Indian stone carving is one of the richest traditions in the world. Stones carvers have existed here since the 7th century BC. The skills were handed down as family lore from father to son, a practice prevalent in several parts of the country even today. The stone craft presented in this section are from Udaipur. It speaks highly of the artistic skills of the stonecutters of the region. The geologically old land of Rajasthan, rich in different kinds of hard rock like granites, marbles, quart slates and other metamorphic rocks, has been a stone carver's paradise. Rajasthan continues to be one of the major centers of stone carving in the country. The fine quality of marble and sandstone extracted from the numerous quarries in the state gave rise to the tradition of stonemasons and sculptors. The current generation of the sculpture is performing on marble and sandstone to carve beautiful sculptures and decorative ornaments.
