Indian Green Marble Slabs, Emerald Green Light Marble

The very famous Taj Mahal is entirely made up with a white marble and its pure white walls with attractive & delicate designs are decorated with stone inlay work. Such work is also found on the tombs or palaces of the Mughals; the tomb `itmad-ud-daulah`, which is a tomb of the father of Nur Jahan, built by Nur Jahan in between 1622 and 1628 using the white marble. Indians knew the mosaic inlay work & it was prevalent in India even before the Moghuls came. This can be seen in the temples in India, where there are the complete or partly carved patterns of marble on ceilings and walls. Sometimes the frames of the doors & windows are carved in marble with flowers or other intricate designs in temples. Even the Dilwara Jain temples in Mount Abu, Rajasthan is carved in marble. Instead of any artistic designs, here the stress is given on enshrine various Jain `Tirthankaras`. It is constructed out of a white marble from Arasoori Hill; the temples are marked as an outstanding example of Jain temple architecture
