Artisans of Marble Inlay

Learn the art legacy that lent beauty to the Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal’s intricate beauty lies in the inlay work; where semi precious stones are set into the marble tiles and floors to create floral motifs. If interested, Travel Scope can organize a ‘Meeting with Inlay Artisans’ to understand how the craftsmanship has continued through the ages!
