Marble Inlay work is one of the most
attractive art that done from marble. Same type of that adorns the
Taj Mahal and other Mughal monuments. It is a
closely protected traditional art and only a few expert exponents
are available today. The delicate process involves cutting and
engraving marble shapes manually. To start with, a predefined
pattern e.g., floral design or geometrical design is engraved on
the marble slab. Small pieces of marble of different shades are cut
delicately to fit in these grooves precisely. These small pieces
are then slipped in the grooves. Apart from marble, many other
materials can also be used.
