85 km from Jaipur lies this place called Sikandra. On my recent visit to Dausa district of Rajasthan, I took a break to see the amazing Stone Carving work being done on the road sides here by hand and by machine. It can be seen on a stretch of 7-10 km in Sikandra area of the district.
On both sides of the road you will find dozens of craftsmen working day and night to make beautiful designs on the white and pink sandstone which comes from Bansi Paharpur near Bayana(Bharatpur District).
This stone has been used in construction of Swaminayan Akshardham of New Delhi, Ambedkar Parks in Noida and Lucknow and at many other well known temples and hotels in and outside India, not even that but people use them at their homes too. Although they are costly but for sure they can be called as a permanent value asset.
In this video, we have talked to a shop owner here and discussed about the pricing and a lot of other minute details which might be helpful for you.
