Stone handicrafts are traditional and decorative products crafted by artisans using natural stones such as marble, sandstone, soapstone, and granite. These items often include sculptures, idols, vases, lamps, tabletops, jali panels, trays, wall hangings, and home décor elements. The craft reflects a blend of heritage art and skilled handwork, often passed down through generations. Some regions are famous for specific styles, like Rajasthan for marble carving or Odisha for soapstone idols. Stone handicrafts are valued for their durability, natural beauty, and uniqueness, making them popular in interior décor, religious offerings, souvenirs, and luxury gifts. They are often handmade, though modern workshops may use tools like CNC machines or laser cutters to complement manual craftsmanship. This art supports rural livelihoods, promotes sustainable use of natural resources, and represents the cultural richness of Indian and global traditions.
