THE GLORY OF NATURAL STONE IN INDIA- BY BHANDARI MARBLE GROUP

Natural stone has always been and always will be one of the most precious and unique building stones. Natural stones like marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, etc. have gained worldwide popularity owing to their unique and unmatched traits. In India, these natural building stones have been used since forever for various architectural as well as decorative purposes.

INDIA – ONE OF THE VERY FIRST COUNTRIES TO UTILISE NATURAL STONES
India is a very ancient land and one of the first to understand civilization. It is believed that some of the widely popular natural stones that are used all over the world today, were first mined in India. Around 2018, a new kind of natural stone was unearthed from the soil of Kendujhar district in Odisha, India. It is believed to be the oldest stone which would help us uncover some unknown facts about the first half a billion years of the earth’s history. This discovery is important to mention only because it throws light on the fact that India has always been one of the first countries to understand and analyse the importance and massive value of natural stones.

THE GLORY OF NATURAL STONES IN INDIA – FROM PAST TO PRESENT
All of us have at least a vague idea about how natural stones were discovered in ancient times when man felt the slightest need to build infrastructure. The historical architectural masterpieces built in natural stones in Europe, Rome and Greece are well known for their beauty and historical importance. However, when it comes to India, natural stones seem to be widely underrated. It is ironic how one of the first countries to mine natural stone is now moving farther from the natural stone trend while the rest of the world is moving rapidly towards it. Although, with the spread of knowledge about the incomparable properties of natural stone, we are now understanding and utilizing our natural stone reserves to the maximum benefits for our projects.
