Indian art and craftsmanship is known worldwide. Stone handicrafts of India, especially those done on marble and soap stone (also known as sand stone) are famous all over the world. Indian art is imported and treasured all over because of its implicit beauty and perfection. Since historic times, stone has been the preferred medium for displaying art and emotions. The art of stone work is very evident, for example, in the eye captivating temples of South India, and in the richly carved beautiful work of the caves of Aganta and Ellora. These massive, but breath taking monuments depict and reflect the ingenuity and talent of the craftsmen.

Stone carving and decorating is not only limited to temples, caves and sculptures of gods and goddesses. It portrays the life and rituals of the complex and diverse Indian society. Stone handicrafts bring to life the Indian culture and the crafters use their sophistication to display these colors of life in their handiwork with stone.
