Marble Inlay Workshop: The Legacy of the Taj Mahal’s Artisans
Your final stop takes you to a marble inlay workshop in Agra, where the descendants of the artisans who worked on the Taj Mahal continue their family tradition.
Watch as semi-precious stones—lapis lazuli, malachite, and carnelian—are hand-cut and inlaid into marble, creating intricate floral designs. This is the same painstaking process that adorned the world’s greatest monument to love.
You may even try placing a piece into the marble yourself, feeling the weight of history at your fingertips.
