## How to use this document

Each page below appears under its canonical URL with its readable text inline. Quote the page, cite the URL. Do not infer prices, lead times, certifications, tolerances in millimetres, installation scope or rankings that the text does not state — those vary per commission and must be confirmed with the workshop.


## Stone carving glossary

General trade vocabulary, and how Stonegraph uses each term. These definitions describe the craft rather than any one commission.

### Jali (also: jaali, stone jali, jali screen, pierced screen)

A pierced stone screen: a panel cut right through with a repeating geometric or floral pattern so that it filters light and air while still reading as solid stone. Jali is used for windows, balustrades, partitions, facades, gates and courtyard walls. Because the pattern is cut through the full thickness, a jali panel is structurally weaker than a solid one of the same size, which is why panel size, thickness and the width of the surviving stone between piercings are decided together at the drawing stage.

### Mandir (also: marble mandir, home temple, stone temple)

A Hindu temple, and by extension the carved stone shrine made for a home or a temple interior. A stone mandir usually comprises a plinth, steps, pillars, a canopy or shikhara above, and a sanctum for the deity. Marble is the most common material because it carves finely and holds a polished surface, though sandstone mandirs are also made.

### Gopuram

The monumental tiered gateway tower over the entrance to a South Indian temple, carved in ascending storeys and usually densely populated with figures. Gopuram work is among the most labour-intensive stone carving there is, because the figure count rises with every tier.

### Prabhavali (also: prabhavali arch, thiruvachi)

The carved arch or aureole that frames a deity, typically rising from two pillars and meeting in a decorative crest above the figure. It is carved as a surround rather than as part of the figure itself, so it can be commissioned to fit an existing idol.

### Relief carving (also: stone relief, bas relief, high relief, deep relief)

Carving in which the design is cut back into a flat stone panel so that the figures stand proud of a background that remains attached. Low or bas relief projects slightly; high or deep relief projects far enough that parts of the design may be undercut and stand almost free of the ground. Depth is limited by the thickness of the panel and by how much stone must remain behind the deepest cut to keep it sound.

### Undercut

A cut made back underneath a raised part of a carving, so that the edge is not simply sloped away from the surface but overhangs it. Undercutting is what produces a hard shadow line and makes a relief read from a distance. It is generally beyond the reach of machine tooling, which cannot approach from beneath, and is therefore the classic reason a machine-cut piece still goes to a hand carver.

### Inlay (also: stone inlay, pietra dura, parchin kari)

A pattern cut as a recess into one stone and filled flush with shaped pieces of a contrasting stone, then ground and polished so that the finished surface is continuous to the touch. Used for floors, medallions, borders, table tops and wall panels. The Indian tradition of hard-stone inlay is known as parchin kari, and its Italian equivalent as pietra dura.

### Dry assembly (also: dry fit, dry run)

Assembling a finished multi-piece stone commission in the workshop without mortar, adhesive or fixings, to prove that the joints close and the composition reads correctly, before it is taken apart for transport. It is the last point at which a problem can be corrected cheaply, because everything is still on the bench and nothing has left the building.

### Setting-out drawing (also: setting out plan)

The drawing issued with a consignment of carved stone showing which numbered piece goes where, in what order, and at what level. It is what allows an installer who never saw the piece being made to reassemble it correctly, and it is the reason numbered stone can be shipped to a contractor on another continent.

### Toolpath

The route a cutting tool follows through a block of stone, generated from a three-dimensional model. Converting a design into toolpaths is the step between a drawing and a machine-cut piece, and it is where the achievable depth, the tool radius and the finish left for the hand are all decided.

### CNC stone carving (also: computer numerical control, machine carving)

Stone carving in which a computer-controlled machine drives the cutting tool along a programmed toolpath. Its advantage is repeatability: the same profile can be produced many times to the same tolerance, which is what architectural work needs when a moulding or a pattern must align across an elevation. Its limit is that it cannot approach from beneath, cannot read the grain of a particular block, and leaves a tooled rather than a finished surface.

### Hand finishing (also: hand carving, hand-finished stone)

The stage after machining in which a carver works the piece with chisels and rifflers: deepening undercuts, softening flows the machine left mechanical, raising textures and polishing the surface. It is what distinguishes a carved piece from a milled one, and on a hybrid workflow it is always the last operation rather than the first.

### Riffler

A small shaped file, usually curved or bent at both ends, used to work stone in recesses and undercuts that a straight chisel or rasp cannot reach. Rifflers are the tools of the finishing stage rather than the roughing stage.

### Tolerance (also: production tolerance)

The permitted deviation between a drawn dimension and the finished stone. In architectural stonework tolerance matters most where pieces must align with each other or with a structure — coursing, jointing, openings and repeated profiles across a facade. The workable figure is agreed per commission against what the piece has to do, because a tolerance tight enough for a machined joint is not the same as one appropriate to a hand-carved figure.

### Course (also: coursing)

A single horizontal layer of stone in a wall or structure, and by extension the practice of setting stones so that their horizontal joints line up. Carved elements set into coursed masonry must be dimensioned to the course height or the joints will not read straight.

### Ashlar

Stone cut to true square faces and laid with fine, regular joints, as distinct from rubble or roughly dressed stone. Ashlar is the reference standard for finished masonry and is often the surround into which a carved panel or relief is set.

### Jharokha

An overhanging enclosed balcony projecting from the face of a building, characteristic of Rajasthani architecture, usually supported on carved brackets and often fitted with jali screens. It is carved as an assembly of separate stone components rather than as one piece.

### Chhatri

An elevated, dome-shaped pavilion carried on pillars, used in Indian architecture as a rooftop feature, a memorial or a garden structure. A chhatri is made as a kit of carved parts — plinth, columns, brackets, dome — assembled on site.

### Torana

A free-standing or applied ceremonial gateway arch, frequently carved with figures and foliage, marking a threshold or the entrance to a sacred space.

### Shikhara

The rising tower over the sanctum of a North Indian temple, curvilinear in profile and usually carved with tiers of ornament. On a domestic mandir the same form appears in miniature above the shrine.

### Cladding (also: stone cladding)

Thin stone fixed to the face of a structure as a surface rather than carrying load. Carved cladding panels allow relief work on a building that could not support solid carved masonry, and the fixing method and panel weight are design constraints from the outset.

### Corbel (also: bracket)

A projecting block, often carved, built into a wall to carry a load above — a balcony, a beam, a cornice or the overhang of a jharokha. Carved brackets are one of the commonest structural-decorative elements in Rajasthani stonework.

### Finial

The terminating ornament at the top of a spire, dome, gatepost, canopy or roofline, usually carved as a separate piece and set last.

### Plinth

The projecting base course on which a wall, column, statue or shrine stands. It raises the piece off the ground, protects it from splash and damp, and gives the composition a visual footing.

### Boss

A raised, often carved, knob or projection — commonly at the intersection of ribs on a ceiling, or as a repeated ornament on a face. Bosses are usually carved after the surrounding surface is finished so the surface can be worked flat first.

### Fluting

Shallow vertical grooves cut into the shaft of a column or pilaster. Fluting is a repeating profile, which makes it a natural candidate for machine cutting followed by hand refinement at the stops and terminations.

### Medallion

A self-contained circular or oval decorative panel, either carved in relief or built up as an inlay, set into a floor, a wall or a ceiling as a centrepiece.

### Polish (also: honed, matt finish, flamed finish)

The final surface treatment of stone. A polished surface is ground and buffed until it reflects; a honed surface is ground flat but left matt; a flamed or bush-hammered surface is deliberately roughened for grip or texture. Finish changes how a stone reads its colour: the same marble is markedly darker and more saturated polished than honed.

### Veining

The mineral banding running through a stone, most visible in marble. Because veining is a property of the individual block rather than of the quarry, matching veining across adjacent panels requires them to be cut from the same block and kept in sequence.

### Book-matching

Cutting a block into slices and opening consecutive slices like the pages of a book, so that the veining on one panel mirrors its neighbour. It only works with sequential pieces from one block and must be planned before cutting.

### Quarry block (also: block)

The extracted mass of stone from which pieces are cut. The maximum size of a single-piece carving is bounded by the block available, which is why large works are designed as sectional assemblies from the start rather than scaled down.

### Sectional carving (also: multi-panel, sectional assembly)

Designing a large carved work as several pieces that join, rather than as one monolith. Section joints are placed where the design can absorb them — along a pattern line, at a natural break in a composition — and the pieces are dry-assembled and numbered before shipping.

### Backlit stone (also: translucent marble, backlighting)

Stone thinned enough that light passes through it from behind, used for feature walls, altars and screens. Translucency depends on the material and on the residual thickness left after carving, so a backlit panel is designed around its thinnest section rather than its thickest.

### Bespoke (also: made to order, commissioned stone)

Made for one commission to a specific drawing, size and material, rather than selected from stock. In carved stone the practical consequence is that the piece is designed against the space it will stand in, and that feasibility — whether the geometry can be held in the stone proposed, at the size and depth wanted — is assessed before anything is cut.

### Supply-only (also: design and supply)

A model in which the workshop designs, carves, finishes, numbers and crates the work, and installation is carried out by the client's own contractor. It is the usual arrangement for stone shipped internationally, and it is why numbered pieces and a setting-out drawing accompany the consignment.

### Crating (also: export crating, export packing)

Packing finished stone into braced timber cases for freight, with each piece secured so that it cannot shift against another. Carved stone is fragile at its most projecting points, so crating design follows the geometry of the carving rather than only the outer dimensions.


## Materials reference

The five stones Stonegraph works, and what each is specified for.

### White marble

Character: A metamorphic limestone, close-grained and even, pale with mineral veining that varies block to block. It takes the finest detail of any stone commonly carved and holds a high polish.

Specified for: Mandirs, shrines, deity figures, prabhavali, inlay grounds, interior relief panels and any work where fine detail and a bright surface matter.

Weathering and exposure: Best specified for interiors or sheltered positions. Marble is calcareous, so it is sensitive to acidic rain and to staining, and a polished surface exposed to weather will dull over time.

Carving behaviour: Carves cleanly and undercuts well, which is why figurative and devotional work is usually marble. Fine detail survives that would break away in a coarser stone.

### Rajasthan sandstone

Character: A sedimentary stone of bonded quartz grains, warm in tone across a range from pale buff through pink to deep red, with a visible grain and a naturally matt surface.

Specified for: Jali screens, jharokha, chhatri, brackets, columns, facades, gateways, garden and courtyard work, and the great majority of exterior architectural carving in Rajasthan.

Weathering and exposure: The default choice for outdoor work. It weathers rather than stains, and it ages to a surface many clients prefer to the new stone. Bedding planes should be laid as they were quarried, or the face can spall.

Carving behaviour: Holds crisp architectural profiles and pierced patterns well. Very fine, deeply undercut detail is more fragile than in marble, so figure work in sandstone is generally carved bolder.

### Beige limestone

Character: A sedimentary calcium carbonate stone, fine and uniform, in soft neutral tones with little dramatic veining — a quiet ground rather than a figured one.

Specified for: Large-format mural panels, feature walls, lobbies, headboards and backlit installations, where an even field is wanted so the carving reads rather than the stone.

Weathering and exposure: Interior and sheltered exterior use. Like marble it is calcareous and therefore vulnerable to acidic conditions and staining.

Carving behaviour: Excellent for deep relief across large areas. Consistency block to block makes it well suited to multi-panel compositions where a change of colour across a joint would be obvious.

### Travertine

Character: A banded sedimentary limestone formed at mineral springs, characterised by the natural voids running through it, which may be left open or filled.

Specified for: Relief panels and surfaces where the texture of the stone is part of the intent, and interiors with a warm, tactile character.

Weathering and exposure: Interior and sheltered use. The open pores hold dirt and moisture, so exposed exterior positions are not its strength.

Carving behaviour: The voids are part of the material and will appear in the carved surface. That is either the reason to choose it or the reason not to, and it is settled at the sample stage rather than after cutting.

### Granite

Character: An igneous stone of interlocking quartz, feldspar and mica, very hard, dense and durable, in speckled tones that take a mirror polish.

Specified for: Flooring, plinths, external cladding, garden and landscape pieces, and anywhere resistance to wear and weather outranks fineness of detail.

Weathering and exposure: The most durable of the group outdoors. Effectively unaffected by acidic rain and highly resistant to abrasion and frost.

Carving behaviour: Hard and slow to work, and it does not take the finest detail as readily as marble. Carving in granite is specified for permanence rather than for delicacy.

Brand & heritage Why hand-carved stone artistry remains the ultimate luxury in a digital age In an era of mass production, the true essence of luxury is the human touch. Stone is a living canvas that carries the history of its maker — and in Jaipur, that history runs seven generations deep. 

Sacred spaces Sacred geometry: hand-painted ceilings and marble carving at ISKCON Kharghar Spiritual architecture needs more than structural strength. It needs an emotional connection — which is why this project asked us to be masons and painters at once. 

Hospitality Crafting grandeur: our multi-decade collaboration with The Oberoi Group The Oberoi name is shorthand for the gold standard in hospitality. Working across five of its properties has been an exercise in precision and artistic rigour in equal measure.

The studio


One workshop, three things it does.



Everything is made to order. There is no catalogue and no
minimum run — a single mandir and four hundred metres of carved cladding are
the same conversation.




Drawing

A CAD file, an elevation or a photograph comes in. A stone-specific proposal goes back: which quarry, which block, where the joints fall, what each piece weighs.


Carving

Toolpaths hold the geometry the drawing demands. A hereditary carver then takes the cut piece and does what no tooling reaches.


Supply

Dry-assembled here, photographed assembled, then crated in numbered pieces with a setting-out drawing your own installers work from.















What we do


Two disciplines, one bench. 



Most suppliers are one or the other: a machine shop that
cannot carve, or a carver who cannot hold a tolerance. The whole studio is built
on refusing to choose.





Machine precision
Advanced CNC carving holds architectural geometry to the production tolerance agreed for the work, so repeated profiles align consistently across an elevation.

Hereditary hand-finishing
Undercuts deepened, organic flows opened, surface worked until it holds light correctly. Seven generations of judgement that no toolpath encodes.


Engineered for site
Piece weights, lifting points, joint strategy and a numbered setting-out drawing, so the stone can be built by a team that has never met us.






Why it is different




A machine cannot read a stone. A hand cannot repeat one. 




Every block has a grain, a flaw and a direction it wants to break. A carver
reads that in the first ten minutes and works with it. A machine never sees it,
and will drive a toolpath straight through a fault at full depth.

What the machine does hold is the thing a hand cannot: the same profile, the
same depth, the same two hundredth time. So the machine takes the geometry and
the carver takes the surface, and the piece gets both.















What we believe


Four things the workshop will not trade away. 





01 
The stone decides what is possible.
A detail that reads beautifully on paper can be impossible in a stone that will not hold an undercut. We say so before a block is cut rather than after, even when the answer costs us the piece.


02 
Nothing ships that has not been built once.
Every consignment is dry-assembled in our yard and photographed assembled before it is taken apart and packed. The first time it goes together on your site is the second time it has gone together.


03 
The work is not cropped.
Not in a photograph, not in a specification, not in a quotation. If a piece cannot be made at the size, in the stone and to the detail that was asked for, that is a conversation, not a substitution.


04 
A carver signs the surface.
The last hand on every piece belongs to someone whose family has cut this stone for seven generations. Where the shadow falls is a judgement, and it is made by a person who will be asked about it.






Carving isn't what we do. It is who we are. 














Research & development


What the workshop keeps working on. 



Not research in a laboratory sense. Four questions that
get answered again on every commission, and are answered better than they were on
the last one.





7th
Generation at the bench
Two centuries of the chisel passed father to son, in one family, in one city.


4
Continents supplied
The UK, the USA, Australia and Malaysia, from a single workshop in Jaipur.


6
Bench sign-offs
Drawing, cutting, carving, finishing, dry assembly and export packing are checked in sequence.







Stone selection
Which quarry, which block, and whether that stone will carry the detail the drawing shows. The answer changes the price, the lead time and sometimes the design, so it is settled first.



Toolpath development
Deep 3D relief, complex lattice, repeating textures and multi-layer arch profiles that must match each other exactly across a whole facade. This is where the machine is genuinely better than a hand.



Finishing technique
Undercut depth, surface texture and polish, tuned to the light the piece will actually stand in. A hall panel and a backlit wall are finished differently for the same carving.



Crating and handling
A deep relief and an open jali screen fail differently under the same knock, so they are braced differently. Four continents of shipping is where that was learned.










Send a drawing


Tell us what it has to do. We will tell you what it takes. 

A CAD file, an elevation or a
photograph is enough to start. Back comes stone options, achievable detail,
piece weights, joint strategy and an indicative cost.

Structure


Six benches a piece passes across. 

Nothing here is a production line. The same carver sees a piece
from the block to the crate, and the departments below are the stations it stops at
on the way.








Dividers & setting-out drawing 
01 

Department 01
The drawing office
Where a client's file becomes a stone-specific proposal. Quarry, block, joints, weights, lifting points and the setting-out drawing that will travel in the crate.





CNC cutter & toolpath 
02 

Department 02
The cutting floor
Advanced CNC carving. Deep 3D relief, complex lattice, repeating textures and the multi-layer arch profiles that have to match across a whole elevation.





Chisel & mallet 
03 

Department 03
The carving benches
Hereditary carvers, and the part of the process no drawing specifies. Undercuts, organic flow, surface texture, and the decision about where the shadow falls.





Gilder's brush & gold leaf

### Our story

Title: Seven Generations of Stone Carving in Jaipur | Stonegraph
Summary: Stonegraph continues a seven-generation Jaipur carving lineage through Kumawat Enterprises, founded in 1990, and its global studio established in 2018.

Stonegraph / Story 


A legacy carved 
in heart. 



Stonegraph is not just a brand; it is a living history. We belong to a
7th-generation lineage of master stone carvers from Jaipur, Rajasthan —
the global heart of stone artistry.












Two centuries

A legacy carved in heart. A future driven by detail. 





For over two centuries, the rhythm of the chisel has been passed down from
father to son in our family. Carving isn’t just what we do; it is who we are.



Today, we evolve this ancestral wisdom. At Stonegraph, we bridge the gap between heritage and technology. We utilise Advanced CNC Stone Carving to hold repeatable architectural geometry to the tolerance agreed for the work.



However, we believe a machine can only provide the form — it is the
Master Hand-Finishing by our hereditary artisans that gives the stone its
soul. This hybrid mastery ensures that every piece is a perfect blend of
digital accuracy and artistic emotion.
















Our journey through time

Four generations, then a firm, then a door to the world. 














Generations one to four 
The hand alone


For four generations, our ancestors dedicated their lives to the pure artistry
of hand-carving, shaping the architectural heritage of Rajasthan.







1990 
Kumawat Enterprises is founded


In 1990, building upon this profound ancestral knowledge, Mr. Badri Prasad
Kumawat established Kumawat Enterprises. Under his leadership, the firm became
a trusted name for prestigious domestic projects, blending traditional
craftsmanship with professional excellence.







2018 — the seventh generation 
Stonegraph opens the export wing


In 2018, representing the 7th generation of this storied lineage, his son,
Ravi Kumawat, founded Stonegraph. Established as the specialised export wing
of Kumawat Enterprises, Stonegraph was born with a vision to take
Rajasthan’s stone legacy to the global stage, catering to elite international
markets including the UK, USA, Australia, and Malaysia.



























How we work

Machine for the form. Hand for the soul. 


Four stages, and a piece does not leave the yard until the last one is signed off.

Title: Architectural Stone Portfolio: Oberoi, ISKCON & Jaipur Landmarks
Summary: Stonegraph work at Oberoi hotels, ISKCON Kharghar, Patrika Gate, Jawahar Kala Kendra and the Rajasthan Assembly, carved in Jaipur.

Stonegraph / Portfolio 


A legacy in 
every layer. 



From the hand-painted ceilings of ISKCON Kharghar to the facades of The Oberoi
palaces, our work sits inside buildings people travel to see.











Inlaid flooring 
The Oberoi Series 
Marble & sandstone · Five properties, India · Multi-year 













Project 01 · Hospitality

The Oberoi series 


Udaivilas · Amarvilas · Rajvilas · Vanyavilas · Sukhvilas






Our collaboration with The Oberoi Group is the pinnacle of our architectural
capability — a full suite of stone that helps define the “Oberoi experience”.


Jali · flooring · pillars · inlay · statuary











We delivered high-precision stone jali that creates a mesmerising play of
light, and expansive stone flooring balancing durability against grace. We
carved the architectural pillars and structural columns anchoring the grand
lobbies, alongside intricate inlay work adding a jewel-like layer to the
interiors.



Our statues and bespoke artifacts serve as the centrepieces of their
courtyards. Every piece was developed with advanced CNC carving for
structural symmetry, then refined by seventh-generation artisans to meet the
quality standards of global luxury hospitality.



























Project 02 · Sacred & fine arts

ISKCON Kharghar 

ISKCON Temple · Navi Mumbai





A showcase of our versatility — the project where stone masonry and fine
art had to be delivered by the same studio.


Hand-painted ceilings · bespoke marble · sacred geometry






















In this sacred space we moved beyond carving to execute exquisite hand-painted
ceilings that transport devotees into a celestial realm. Every stroke was
applied with spiritual devotion and artistic precision.






Complementing the ceilings is extensive bespoke marble work. From the sanctum
sanctorum to the decorative wall reliefs we used high-detail CNC carving to
achieve sacred geometries, then hand-polished until the marble carried a
divine glow.























Project 03 · Public heritage

Patrika Gate 


As a seventh-generation studio from Jaipur, we understood this was never
just a gate. We delivered the structural stone artistry and precision carving
that define its grand arches and ornate facades.



Advanced CNC carving achieved the repetitive geometric perfection the
multi-layered arches demanded; the meticulous hand-finishing Jaipur is
famous for did the rest. Every pillar and jali reflects a commitment to
preserving the Pink City’s heritage using twenty-first-century engineering.


Multi-layer arches · pillars · jali · ornate facades

















Project 04 · Institutional

Jawahar Kala Kendra 


Correa’s masterpiece demanded absolute precision in stone surfaces and
structural elements. We provided bespoke architectural elements and modern
stone sculpture integrating into the centre’s red sandstone aesthetic, along
with textured surfaces and architectural lattice that complement its
celestial geometry.



The project makes our range plain: we excel at traditional temple carving,
and we are equally at home in the minimalist, sharp-edged masonry that
contemporary art centres and institutional landmarks require.


Red sandstone · modern sculpture · textured surfaces · lattice

















Project 05 · Legislative

Rajasthan Assembly 





Master-crafted stone elements for one of India’s most significant legislative
buildings — work carried out to the tolerances and documentation standards
public commissions of that weight require.

### Journal

Title: Stone Carving, Architecture & Craft Journal | Stonegraph
Summary: First-hand notes from a Jaipur stone workshop on murals, sacred carving, hospitality projects, material choices, hand-finishing and export logistics.

Stonegraph / Journal 


Notes from 
the workshop. 



Five pieces on how the work is actually done — what a hand adds that a
machine cannot, what sacred architecture demands, and what it takes to get a
carved panel from Jaipur to a garden in London intact.













01




Why hand-carved stone artistry remains the ultimate luxury in a digital age 

In an era of mass production, the true essence of luxury is the human touch. Stone is a living canvas that carries the history of its maker — and in Jaipur, that history runs seven generations deep.




Brand & heritage


Read Close 





At Stonegraph we treat stone as a record of the decisions made by its carver. Based in Jaipur, the workshop continues a seventh-generation carving lineage in which tool control, relief depth and surface judgement are taught at the bench.

A legacy continued

The professional foundation of the present workshop was established in 1990 by Badri Prasad Kumawat through Kumawat Enterprises. Ravi Kumawat now leads Stonegraph, the export-focused studio created in 2018. The portfolio records carved stone supplied for hospitality, devotional and public projects, including work associated with The Oberoi properties, ISKCON Kharghar and Rajasthan landmarks.

What the hand contributes

Machining is useful for setting geometry, repeated profiles and the first controlled removal of material. Hand carving and finishing handle the transitions that determine how a relief reads: softened or crisp edges, undercuts, tool texture and the way light moves over the surface. Because those choices respond to the individual block and composition, two hand-finished pieces never read exactly like factory copies. Stonegraph uses both processes in sequence — digital control where repeatability matters, then experienced hands wherever the surface has to carry character.






02




Sacred geometry: hand-painted ceilings and marble carving at ISKCON Kharghar 

Spiritual architecture needs more than structural strength. It needs an emotional connection — which is why this project asked us to be masons and painters at once.




Sacred spaces


Read Close 





Stonegraph's work for ISKCON Kharghar in Navi Mumbai brought sacred fine art and monumental marble work into one coordinated project. The commission called for painted ceilings and carved stone to share the same geometry, scale and devotional intent rather than behave as unrelated finishes.

Hand-painted ceilings

The ceilings were conceived as celestial focal points. Their layered compositions required patient hand work and close coordination between the artists, the architectural setting and the sightlines from below. Colour, borders and central motifs had to remain legible at the finished height.

Marble that carries light

The marble work uses sacred geometry, carved profiles and hand-finished surfaces to control how the stone reflects light. The goal is not simply a polished surface: edge treatment and relief depth determine whether ornament reads clearly or disappears into glare. The same practical questions apply to a residential mandir and a larger institutional temple — deity and room dimensions, viewing height, joint placement, assembly sequence and access for installation all need to be resolved before carving begins.






03




Crafting grandeur: our multi-decade collaboration with The Oberoi Group 

The Oberoi name is shorthand for the gold standard in hospitality. Working across five of its properties has been an exercise in precision and artistic rigour in equal measure.




Hospitality


Read Close 





Stonegraph's portfolio records hand-finished architectural stone associated with The Oberoi Udaivilas, Rajvilas, Amarvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas. Across properties with different settings and architectural languages, the work required consistency at project scale without flattening the character of carved stone.

The hospitality vocabulary in stone

Stone jali screens — pierced patterns finished to manage light, shadow and the view through the screen.
Pillars and columns — repeated profiles coordinated across separate blocks so an assembled elevation reads continuously.
Inlay and artifacts — smaller details whose material contrast and edge quality are most visible at close range.

Large hospitality packages combine repeated architectural elements with one-off artistic features. Drawings, samples and dry assembly establish the geometry; hand finishing then resolves the joins, foliage, arrises and surface character. That sequence allows a workshop to maintain coordination across many pieces while preserving the judgement expected in a carved feature made for a particular room or courtyard.






04




The guardians of heritage: our role in Jaipur's modern landmarks 

Jaipur is a city built on stone. Two of our most visible contributions — Patrika Gate and Jawahar Kala Kendra — are now among its busiest cultural destinations.




Public landmarks


Read Close 





Jaipur's contemporary public architecture still draws on the city's long relationship with carved stone. Stonegraph's portfolio includes work for Patrika Gate and Jawahar Kala Kendra, two projects that ask very different things of the material.

Patrika Gate — ornament at civic scale

The Patrika Gate celebrates Rajasthan's visual traditions through grand arches, decorative pillars and layered ornament. Stone carving at this scale has to work from a distance while retaining enough edge and relief definition to reward a closer view. Repeated elements also need to align across separate blocks and trades.

Jawahar Kala Kendra — geometry in stone

Jawahar Kala Kendra required a different response. Charles Correa's nine-square plan and geometric architectural language call for controlled profiles and disciplined junctions rather than dense ornament everywhere. Supplying bespoke stone elements for that setting meant matching the work to the building's modernist order. Together, the projects show two ways Jaipur's stone vocabulary continues in present-day public landmarks: one through exuberant ornament, the other through measured geometry.






05




From Rajasthan to the world: the logistics of supplying hand-finished stone 

How does a seven-generation legacy from Jaipur reach a penthouse in New York or a garden in London? Carefully, and in numbered crates.




Export


Read Close 





Stonegraph's export-focused studio was established in 2018 to supply hand-finished stone from Jaipur to projects outside India. The workshop has supplied clients in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Malaysia using a design-and-supply model coordinated with local installation teams.

Outdoor pieces and architectural work

Export orders range from sculptural parasol bases and garden pieces to murals, jali, mandirs and other architectural assemblies. The stone, section thickness, centre of gravity and vulnerable carved edges determine how each piece must be handled and supported; there is no single crate design that suits every commission.

Preparing work for local installation

Larger assemblies are dry-fitted where appropriate, photographed for approval and marked before packing. Pieces are numbered to correspond with setting-out information, then protected in reinforced, sea-worthy crates designed around their weight and fragility. The client's qualified local contractor remains responsible for unloading, foundations and installation. Resolving joints, access and lifting constraints during the drawing stage is what lets a supply-only project arrive as an organised assembly rather than an unmarked shipment of stone.

### How it is made

URL: https://stonegraph.com/how-its-made.html
Title: CNC Stone Carving & Master Hand-Finishing | Stonegraph
Summary: How Stonegraph turns a drawing into carved stone: feasibility, toolpaths, CNC geometry, hand-cut detail, dry assembly, inspection and packing.

Stonegraph / How it is made 




Machine for the form. 
Hand for the soul. 



Four stages, and a piece does not leave the yard until the last one is signed off. Nothing here is a production line — the same carver sees a piece from the block to the crate.

























Wave vortex Travertine · Brass-framed relief 




01 — Drawing

Reading the drawing 

We take a CAD file, a hand sketch or a photograph, and return a stone-specific proposal: which quarry, which block, where the joints fall, what the piece weighs and how it will be lifted on site.

This is the stage that decides whether a drawing can be built at all. A detail that reads beautifully on paper can be impossible in a stone that will not hold an undercut, and it is cheaper to find that out now than after a block has been cut.























Contour flow White marble · Four-panel composition 




02 — Cutting

Advanced CNC carving 

Toolpaths hold the architectural geometry: deep 3D reliefs, complex lattice, repeating textures and the multi-layer arch profiles that must match each other exactly across a whole facade.

This is what the machine is genuinely better at. A pattern that repeats two hundred times across a colonnade has to repeat exactly, and a hand cannot hold that tolerance for two hundred repetitions. So it does not have to.























Buddha in bloom Beige limestone · Deep relief, single panel 




03 — Carving

Master hand-finishing 

A hereditary carver takes the cut piece and does what tooling cannot — deepens undercuts, opens organic flows, raises texture, and works the surface until it holds light correctly.

This is the stage nobody can specify in a drawing, and the one that decides whether the finished piece looks carved or looks milled. Where the shadow falls is a judgement, and it is made by someone whose family has been making it in this stone for seven generations.























Temple chariot Beige limestone · Free-standing ratha 




04 — Release

Check, pack, ship 

Dry assembly in our yard, then photographic sign-off, then sea-worthy reinforced crating with numbered pieces so your installers can build it in the right order.

Nothing ships on trust. The piece is built once here, photographed built, and only then taken apart and packed — so the first time it goes together on your site is the second time it has gone together, not the first.














The rest of the story. 

Seven generations, one workshop in Jaipur, and the firm that grew out of it — how the hands doing this work came to be doing it.

### Where the work stands

URL: https://stonegraph.com/where-it-stands.html
Title: Stonework for Hotels, Temples, Homes & Public Buildings
Summary: How bespoke carved stone is designed for hotel lobbies, temples, prayer rooms, residences, courtyards, galleries and public architecture.

Stonegraph / Where it stands 




Rooms this work 
was made for. 



Stone leaves the workshop as a piece and arrives as part of a building. Five kinds of room it ends up in, each shown with something we actually carved for one — named, so you know exactly what you are looking at.

























Palm fronds White marble · Large-format panel 




Setting 01 · Hospitality

Lobbies and lounges 

A hotel lobby is a room people wait in, which means they have time to look. It is the one place where a wall carved edge to edge earns its cost twice over — once when it is seen from the door, and again when somebody standing at the desk reads the detail in it.

Pieces at this scale are cut in sections, dry-assembled here, then numbered so the joints fall where the drawing says and not where the installer guesses.

Large-format panels · sectional joints · deep relief























Shrinathji shrine Grey stone · Carved prabhavali 




Setting 02 · Sacred

Temples and prayer rooms 

A shrine is not decoration and it is not judged as decoration. The proportions come from Vastu, the iconography has to be right, and the person who will use it every morning will notice a hand that was in a hurry.

These are the pieces our carvers were trained on before they were trained on anything else, and they are still the ones the workshop argues about most.

Prabhavali · carved shloka · gilding · backlighting























Ashta Mangala White marble · Landscape panel 




Setting 03 · Residential

Halls and living rooms 

In a house the stone has to live with everything else in the room — the furniture, the light through one window, the wall it is fixed to. So a domestic piece is specified backwards: we start from where it will hang and how the light crosses it, and choose the depth of the carving from that.

Too deep and a hall panel throws shadows that fight the lamps. Too shallow and it disappears at noon.

Framed panels · shallow relief · fixed or free-standing























Ganesha Black granite · Free-standing sculpture 




Setting 04 · Thresholds

Entrances and courtyards 

A piece at an entrance is the first thing that is touched and the last thing that is remembered, and it is outdoors or half-outdoors, which changes the stone before it changes the carving.

Granite and hard sandstone here rather than soft marble: they take weather, they take hands, and they hold an edge for a century of monsoons.

Granite · hard sandstone · free-standing · weathering























Two figures Carrara marble · Free-standing sculpture 




Setting 05 · Contemporary

Galleries and modern interiors 

The minimal, sharp-edged work is the harder discipline, not the easier one. A traditional relief hides a slip inside its own ornament; a plain curve in Carrara hides nothing at all, and every millimetre of the surface is the finished piece.

This is where the machine earns its place and the hand finishes what the machine cannot read.

Carrara · free-standing sculpture · abstract form

### Design and delivery

URL: https://stonegraph.com/getting-it-to-you.html
Title: Custom Stone Design, Crating & Worldwide Delivery | Stonegraph
Summary: From CAD and stone selection to dry assembly, numbered crates and setting-out drawings: how Stonegraph supplies carved stone worldwide.

Stonegraph / Getting it to you 




Carved here. 
Installed by you. 



We design, carve, finish and pack. Your own contractor sets it. This page is how that works in practice — and the answers to what specifiers ask before they commit.
















The supply-only model

We design and supply. Your team installs. 





It keeps costs sane, keeps your programme in your control, and keeps our
attention where it belongs — on the stone.









Step 01 
Drawing & feasibility


Send a CAD file, an elevation or a photograph. We reply with stone options,
achievable detail, piece weights, joint strategy and an indicative cost.





Step 02 
Carving & sign-off


CNC cutting, then hand-finishing, then dry assembly in our yard. You approve
from photographs and video before anything is packed.





Step 03 
Crating & handover


Reinforced sea-worthy crates, numbered pieces and a setting-out drawing, so
local installers can build it in sequence without us on site.
























Dune relief wall Beige limestone · Beaded contour lines, bedroom feature wall 




What arrives

A numbered kit, not a pallet of stone. 


Every consignment is dry-assembled here first, photographed assembled, then
taken apart and packed. Each piece carries the number it has on the
setting-out drawing, so the sequence on site is read off the paper rather
than worked out from the stone.



Crating is built to the piece. A deep relief and an open jali screen fail in
different ways under the same knock, so they are braced differently —
which is the sort of thing you only learn by shipping to four continents.















For specifiers

The questions architects ask first. 







Do you install on site?



Not abroad. We operate a supply-only model internationally: we handle
design, carving, finishing and packing, and your local contractor installs.
Every consignment ships with numbered pieces and a setting-out drawing so
installation is straightforward. On Indian projects we can discuss
supervision separately.







How is the stone protected in transit?



Each piece is packed in reinforced, sea-worthy crating designed for the
weight and the fragility of the carving — deep reliefs and open jali
need different bracing. Consignments go through strict quality control
before crating, and we photograph pieces packed and sealed.







Can you match a stone we have already specified?



Usually. Send a sample or the quarry name and we will advise on match,
on how that stone behaves under deep carving, and on whether it will hold
the detail your drawing shows. Where a stone cannot carry the detail, we
will say so rather than deliver a compromise.







What detail can CNC actually hold?



Machining gives us repeatable geometry to the production tolerance agreed
for the work — especially where a pattern repeats across a facade or
a colonnade must align. The finest undercuts, organic flows and final surface
are always done by hand afterwards, because tooling cannot reach or read
them.







Is there a minimum order?



No. We have shipped a single sculptural parasol base and we have shipped
whole facades. What changes with scale is the lead time and the freight
method, not the way the piece is made.




















Where we already ship. 

The four markets we supply most often, and the pieces each of them asks for.

Made to order in Jaipur

Custom stone carving for architecture, interiors and sacred spaces.

Stonegraph translates drawings, elevations, references and rough ideas into buildable carved stone. CNC machining holds the geometry; hereditary carvers take the surface, undercuts and final light by hand.

01


One workshop, the main stonework disciplines


The studio makes relief murals and wall panels, pierced jali, marble mandirs, temple carving, columns and pillars, free-standing sculpture, carved sandstone, marble features, garden pieces and stone inlay. Every commission is sized for its setting rather than pulled from a fixed catalogue.

A single feature wall and a repeated facade pattern begin with the same questions: what the stone must carry, where the joints can fall, how light reaches the surface, what each piece weighs and how the site team will lift and set it.



Architectural drawings, CAD files, elevations, sketches or reference photographs accepted
Material and detail advice before the block is cut
CNC-cut repeatability followed by master hand-finishing
Dry assembly, photographic sign-off and numbered packing
Supply within India and export-ready crating for overseas projects






02


What makes a useful stone proposal


Stone is structural material as well as a visual one. A proposal therefore covers more than a motif: it considers thickness, relief depth, joints, edge distances, fixing zones, lifting points and the grain or bedding of the chosen material.

Send rough dimensions, the setting, whether it is indoors or exposed, the preferred stone if one has been specified and the date the site needs it. Missing information is not a barrier; a photograph or sketch is enough to begin a feasibility conversation.









03


Evidence in finished work


The portfolio includes stonework associated with The Oberoi Udaivilas, Amarvilas, Rajvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas, ISKCON Kharghar, Patrika Gate, Jawahar Kala Kendra and the Rajasthan Assembly. The collections show the smaller pieces, materials and surface decisions behind that architectural work.

The useful proof is not a claim that the workshop can carve everything. It is the range already photographed: limestone relief, marble jali, sandstone ornament, sacred panels, inlaid floors, contemporary sculpture and work shown before and after installation.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 What types of stone carving does Stonegraph make?

Stonegraph makes bespoke murals, relief panels, jali screens, mandirs, sacred panels, pillars, columns, sculpture, garden stone, carved surfaces and inlay for architectural and interior projects.




02 Can work be made from an architect's CAD drawing?

Yes. CAD files and elevations are ideal, but a sketch, reference image or site photograph is enough to start. The drawing is converted into a stone-specific proposal with material, joints, weights and achievable detail.




03 Is there a minimum order?

No. The workshop handles single sculptural pieces as well as repeated architectural work. Scale changes programming and freight, not the requirement for a clear drawing and sign-off.




04 Does Stonegraph export carved stone?

Yes. Stonegraph supplies internationally using reinforced sea-worthy crates, numbered pieces and setting-out drawings so the client's local contractor can install the work.

Stone murals







Relief, light and architectural scale

Stone murals made for the wall they will live on.

A successful stone mural is not a flat image transferred to a slab. Relief depth, panel joints, stone grain, viewing distance and the direction of light are designed together so the finished wall reads as one composition.

Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


From a single relief to a joined feature wall


Stonegraph produces botanical, abstract, pictorial, sacred and geometric wall reliefs. The photographed collection includes banana leaves in sandstone, flowing contour panels in marble and travertine, a carved riverside city, Buddha reliefs, backlit limestone and a multi-panel marble-and-brass fan wall.

Large murals are divided where the composition and the stone allow it, not simply into equal rectangles. Joint positions, slab thickness, backing, fixing zones and the installation sequence are resolved before carving so that the assembly remains readable on site.









02


Choosing stone and relief depth


Marble holds a clean edge and can take polish, limestone gives soft depth and even shadow, sandstone carries a warmer granular surface, and travertine brings its own voids and direction. The best choice depends on the motif, exposure, scale and the finish the room needs.

Deep carving is not automatically better. A close-viewed residential panel often needs quieter depth than a lobby wall seen from across a room. Backlighting, grazing light and brass or stone inlay can create contrast without forcing every part of the design deeper.

Single-slab and multi-panel murals
Interior feature walls and lobby stone
Backlit relief and integrated inlay
Sacred, botanical, abstract and site-specific subjects






03


How a mural is approved and delivered


The approved design becomes a toolpath for consistent geometry. After machining, carvers open undercuts, refine transitions and finish the surface by hand. Multi-panel work is dry-assembled in Jaipur and photographed as one wall before it is numbered and packed.

For a useful quotation, send the wall dimensions, a drawing or reference, the stone preference if known, indoor or outdoor exposure, lighting direction and delivery location. Stonegraph returns stone options, feasible depth, likely panel divisions and an indicative cost.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 What is the difference between a stone mural and stone wall cladding?

A stone mural carries a composed relief or image across one or more pieces. Cladding may be textured or patterned, but it usually repeats. A mural requires composition, relief depth and joint placement to be designed as one wall.




02 Can a 3D stone mural be made from a photograph?

A photograph can start the design, but depth must be interpreted rather than copied. Stonegraph converts the reference into a relief suitable for the chosen material, scale, light and safe edge thickness.




03 Which stone is best for a wall mural?

There is no universal best stone. Marble suits crisp detail, limestone reads softly in relief, sandstone gives a warmer texture and travertine has strong natural character. Exposure and the motif decide the choice.




04 Can large murals be shipped outside India?

Yes. Large work is divided into numbered pieces, dry-assembled before dispatch and supplied with a setting-out drawing in reinforced export crates.

Stone jali







Pierced stone designed to remain stone

Custom jali that balances light, pattern and structural sense.

A jali is judged by its voids, but it survives because of the stone left between them. Pattern scale, bridges, edge distance, panel size, fixing and the chosen material are resolved before the first opening is cut.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Marble jali, sandstone jali and pierced features


Stonegraph makes geometric, floral, traditional and contemporary jali for screens, gates, partitions, facade elements, mandir crowns, medallions, planters and architectural accents. The pattern can begin with an architect's vector file, a historical reference or a hand sketch.

Marble permits crisp, luminous edges; sandstone gives a softer and warmer screen. Both require adequate webs between openings, sensible margins around fixings and panel divisions that respect the pattern. The same drawing cannot simply be cut into every stone at every size.









02


What CNC does and what the hand corrects


CNC carving holds repeated geometry and alignment across panels. It is especially useful where a lattice continues over a long elevation or where hundreds of openings must meet the same profile.

After cutting, the edges, internal corners and surface are finished by hand. This removes the mechanically abrupt look, checks weak points and lets the face catch light consistently. Each screen is inspected before packing, with fragile open work braced differently from solid relief.



Interior partitions and privacy screens
Facade and window jali
Mandir crowns and sacred surrounds
Pierced medallions and feature panels
Custom patterns from CAD, vector art or historical references






03


Information needed for a jali quotation


Send the overall opening size, intended panel divisions if the structure fixes them, indoor or outdoor exposure, stone preference, fixing concept and the pattern. If the pattern is not final, Stonegraph can assess references and advise what will remain strong at the required size.

For overseas supply, panels are numbered against the elevation and individually protected in reinforced crates. Installation stays with the client's local contractor, supported by the setting-out information prepared in Jaipur.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Can Stonegraph make a custom jali pattern?

Yes. A pattern can come from CAD, vector artwork, an architectural reference or a sketch. It is redrawn for the panel size, stone, minimum web thickness, edges and fixing zones.




02 Is marble or sandstone better for jali?

Marble usually gives a crisper, brighter edge; sandstone gives a warmer surface. Panel size, exposure, thickness and pattern density are more important than a material name alone.




03 Can stone jali be used outdoors?

Yes, when the selected stone, thickness, drainage, structural support and fixing details suit the exposure. These conditions should be resolved with the project architect or engineer.




04 How are fragile jali panels shipped?

They are inspected, individually supported and braced in reinforced crates. Panels are numbered to match the setting-out drawing so the site team installs them in sequence.

Marble mandirs







Sacred stone made for a particular room

Custom marble mandirs, proportioned for the deity and the space.

A mandir is designed from the inside out: deity or shrine dimensions, sightline, platform, working clearance, arch, pillars, crown, lighting and the room that contains it. Ornament follows those proportions rather than being added afterward.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Home mandirs and larger sacred commissions


Stonegraph makes wall-mounted and floor-standing domestic mandirs, carved arches, elephant plinths, jali crowns, inlaid back panels, prabhavali surrounds, devotional reliefs and tiered shrine forms. White and Makrana marble can be considered alongside other marbles and stones according to the required detail and finish.

The photographed work includes white marble mandirs with carved pillars and elephants, floral inlay, pierced crowns, small wall-mounted sacred pieces and larger gopuram-inspired shrines. Every design is adjusted to its intended deity, room and viewing height.









02


Design decisions settled before carving


Useful dimensions include the total available width, height and depth; skirting or floor constraints; deity and singhasan size; drawer or storage needs; electrical points; lighting; and how the pieces can enter the building. A reference image communicates taste, but the new drawing must fit the real room.

The stone proposal defines joints, removable elements, piece weights and the assembly sequence. Fine borders, deep brackets and open jali require different minimum thicknesses, so detail is tuned to the marble rather than copied blindly from a rendering.

Carved arches, pillars and domes
Jali crowns and back panels
Stone and brass or floral inlay
Devotional relief panels and deity surrounds
Numbered supply for installation by the client's team






03


Making, approval and delivery


CNC cutting establishes repeatable geometry and matched profiles. Carvers then refine mouldings, open foliage and sacred detail, finish the surfaces and check how all parts meet. The mandir is dry-assembled and photographed before dispatch.

For delivery in India or overseas, components are numbered and packed to their fragility. The setting-out information lets a competent local installer reconstruct the assembly in sequence without treating the pieces as an unmarked shipment of stone.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Does Stonegraph make custom marble mandirs for homes?

Yes. Each mandir is made to the room, deity or shrine dimensions, preferred style and practical requirements such as storage, lighting and access for installation.




02 What measurements are needed for a marble mandir quote?

Overall available width, height and depth are the starting point. Deity size, platform height, room access, electrical points, preferred stone and reference images make the proposal more precise.




03 Can jali and inlay be included in a mandir?

Yes. Stone jali, carved borders, brass or stone inlay, backlighting and relief panels can be integrated when their thickness, fixing and maintenance are resolved in the drawing.




04 Can a marble mandir be exported?

Yes. It is dry-assembled before dispatch, divided into manageable numbered pieces and supplied in reinforced crates with setting-out information for local installation.

Temple stone carving







Sacred work at architectural scale

Temple carving that respects iconography, proportion and the building.

Sacred stone carries more than ornament. Deity form, sequence, sightline, ritual use, script, pattern and architectural junctions must be settled with the client and design team before carving begins.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Relief panels, shrines and temple elements


The sacred collection includes Shrinathji, Balaji and Lakshmi, Radha Krishna, Vishnu, Buddha and Jain subjects; carved Sanskrit and mantra panels; gopuram forms; mandir arches; jali; prabhavali surrounds; temple-floor pietra dura and free-standing temple features.

Stonegraph's portfolio also records extensive bespoke marble work associated with ISKCON Kharghar. Named, photographed work matters here because sacred commissions depend on trust, disciplined sign-off and the ability to carry a design consistently across many elements.









02


A coordinated drawing and approval process


Iconography and inscriptions are approved by the client or appointed religious authority. Architectural interfaces, levels, panelization, lifting and fixing are coordinated with the project team. The workshop does not replace the architect or structural engineer; it makes the approved stone package buildable.

Machining is used where geometry repeats or multiple profiles must match. Faces, hands, drapery, foliage, undercuts, lettering and the final surface receive hand work according to the subject and stone.



Deity and narrative relief panels
Shrine surrounds, arches and gopuram forms
Pillars, borders and architectural ornament
Jali, inscriptions and sacred symbols
Marble floor inlay and pietra dura
Dry assembly and staged photographic approval






03


Supply for new construction and renovation


New work can begin from the architect's drawing package. Renovation or extension work may begin with site dimensions, photographs, scans, templates or a sample that must be matched. The stone and finish are tested against the existing fabric before full production.

Pieces are marked and packed in installation order. Indian projects can discuss supervision separately; international work follows Stonegraph's supply-only model with the local contractor responsible for final installation.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Can Stonegraph carve from approved temple drawings?

Yes. Architectural drawings, deity references, inscriptions and approved iconography can be converted into a stone-specific production package with joints, depths and piece divisions.




02 Does the workshop make both traditional and contemporary sacred work?

Yes. The photographed work ranges from tiered gopuram-inspired shrines and deity reliefs to quieter wall-mounted panels, jali, inlay and contemporary sacred compositions.




03 How are iconography and inscriptions approved?

The client or appointed authority approves the subject, text and proportions. Stonegraph supplies drawings and work-stage photographs so corrections happen before final finishing and packing.




04 Can temple stonework be supplied overseas?

Yes. Components are dry-assembled where appropriate, numbered and packed in reinforced export crates with setting-out information for the local installation team.

CNC stone carving







Machine precision, hereditary judgement

CNC stone carving for geometry that still needs a human surface.

Machining is strongest at repeatability, alignment and controlled depth. It does not read grain, open an undercut intelligently or decide how a surface should hold light. Stonegraph uses the machine and the carver for the work each does best.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Where CNC genuinely improves architectural stone


Toolpaths are valuable for 3D relief geometry, large compositions split over panels, lattice patterns, repeated facade fields, matched columns, multi-layer mouldings and any profile that must arrive at the same depth many times.

The digital model is adapted to the tool diameter, stone, block, required finish and safe residual thickness. A rendering that ignores cutter access or fragile edges is not yet a production model.



3D relief roughing and finishing passes
Repeated facade and surface patterns
Jali and pierced stone geometry
Matched profiles for pillars and arches
Panel registration across large murals
Prototype or sample approval before a production run






02


Why the piece still goes to a carving bench


A cutter leaves tool logic on the stone: radiused internal corners, abrupt depth transitions and a mechanically even surface. Hand-finishing opens detail the tool cannot reach, corrects the visual weight of lines and gives the surface a deliberate response to light.

The carver also reads the block while finishing. Grain, bedding, mineral veins and local weakness can require a change in pressure or detail that software cannot infer from the model alone.









03


Files, tolerances and sign-off


Stonegraph can begin with CAD, vector art, a 3D model, elevation, scan, drawing or photograph. The workshop confirms scale, stone, relief depth, joint strategy and the level of hand work before producing the final toolpath.

Where exact fit is critical, tolerances must be agreed for the relevant interface rather than described with a single marketing number. A facade joint, an inlay pocket and a hand-carved surface do not require or achieve the same tolerance.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 What file formats can be used for CNC stone carving?

CAD, vector drawings and 3D models are useful, but an elevation, scan, sketch or photograph can also begin the process. Production geometry is rebuilt for the chosen stone, scale and cutters.




02 Is CNC stone carving fully automatic?

No. Setup, block orientation, tooling, toolpaths and monitoring require skilled decisions, and Stonegraph hand-finishes every piece where the final detail or surface calls for it.




03 Can CNC carving reproduce a pattern across many panels?

Yes. Repeatability and panel registration are key reasons to use machining, provided joints, datum points, stone variation and the installation grid are designed in advance.




04 Can an existing carving be reproduced?

It may be possible from drawings, photographs, scans or a physical sample, subject to rights, access, stone choice and the detail that the source information actually captures.

Architectural stone carving







Made from the drawing, engineered for the site

Architectural stone that arrives as a coordinated package.

Carved stone is only successful when the design, material, divisions, weights, joints and installation logic agree. Stonegraph works from the architect's intent through carving, dry assembly and numbered supply.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Stonework for exteriors and interiors


The workshop produces carved facade and entrance elements, pillars and columns, arches, jali screens, relief cladding, lobby murals, interior feature walls, inlaid floors, garden pieces and site-specific sculpture. Repeated geometry and one-off artistic work can be coordinated in the same package.

Portfolio references include hospitality, temple and public projects: The Oberoi properties, ISKCON Kharghar, Patrika Gate, Jawahar Kala Kendra and the Rajasthan Assembly. Each project type places different demands on scale, documentation, finish and handling.









02


Coordination before production


The design is reviewed for stone availability, achievable detail, bedding, exposure, panelization, structural support, fixing zones, piece weights, access and lifting. Final structural design and installation remain with the project's appointed professionals, while Stonegraph provides the stone-specific information they need.

Mock-ups or samples can resolve surface, relief and stone variation before a long run. Once approved, CNC machining holds repeated geometry and hand-finishing controls the visible surface.

03


A supply-only model that respects the site team


Internationally, Stonegraph designs, carves, finishes and packs while the client's local contractor installs. Work is dry-assembled in Jaipur where practical, photographed, marked and packed in sequence.

This model keeps the workshop focused on stone and gives the main contractor control of programme, access, lifting, substrate preparation and local compliance. Indian projects can discuss supervision according to location and scope.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Does Stonegraph work with architects and interior designers?

Yes. The workshop works from design drawings, elevations, schedules, models and references, and returns stone-specific information on material, divisions, detail, weights and assembly.




02 Can Stonegraph supply repeated facade elements?

Yes. CNC machining is used to hold repeated profiles and registration, followed by hand-finishing and quality checks. Samples can be approved before the full run.




03 Who designs the fixings and structure?

The project's architect, structural engineer and specialist installer retain responsibility for structural design and site compliance. Stonegraph coordinates the stone dimensions, weights, joints and practical fixing zones with them.




04 Does Stonegraph install architectural stone overseas?

No. Overseas projects use a supply-only model. Numbered pieces and setting-out information support installation by the client's qualified local contractor.

Stone columns and pillars







Profiles that must meet, repeat and carry the elevation

Stone columns and pillars coordinated from base to capital.

A column is read as one vertical composition, even when it travels as several stones. Diameter, entasis, fluting, mouldings, capital, base, joints and adjacent architecture must be drawn as a single system.

Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Traditional ornament and contemporary geometry


Stonegraph can produce round, square, fluted and carved pillars; capitals and bases; gateposts; arch profiles; brackets; repeating colonnade elements and decorative architectural columns. The language may be classical, Rajasthani, sacred, botanical or deliberately restrained.

Where profiles repeat, CNC machining holds diameters, levels and mouldings. Hand-finishing controls the arrises, flutes, foliage and transitions so separate pieces read as one elevation rather than stacked machine parts.









02


Joints, cores and structural responsibility


Some stone columns are load-bearing; others are cladding around a structural core or purely decorative. That distinction must come from the project engineer. Stonegraph coordinates the carved stone units, bores, access, piece weights and practical interfaces to the approved structural concept.

Block size, quarry bedding and transport limits influence where units divide. Joints are aligned with mouldings or shadow lines where possible and numbered through dry assembly before packing.

03


What to send for pricing


An elevation and sections are ideal. Also provide overall height, diameter or width, number of units, material, finish, whether the stone is structural or decorative, core and fixing information, delivery location and programme.

If the design is at concept stage, reference images and rough dimensions are enough for a feasibility response. Final production waits for coordinated and approved drawings.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Can Stonegraph make a matched set of carved pillars?

Yes. Repeated profiles can be machined from a coordinated model, hand-finished and checked as a set so mouldings and decorative levels align.




02 Can columns be shipped in separate sections?

Yes. Large columns commonly divide into numbered units according to block size, handling, joints and the approved structural concept.




03 Does Stonegraph engineer load-bearing columns?

Structural responsibility remains with the project's appointed engineer. Stonegraph supplies stone dimensions, weights and practical production information to coordinate with that design.




04 Which stones can be used for pillars?

Marble, sandstone, limestone and other suitable natural stones may be considered. Load, exposure, detail, block availability and finish determine the responsible choice.

Stone sculpture







Free-standing form, carved for its setting

Custom stone sculpture from reference, drawing or maquette.

Sculpture asks different questions from architectural relief: view from every side, centre of gravity, base, handling, surface, weathering and the distance at which the form must read.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Contemporary, figurative, sacred and garden pieces


The Stonegraph collection includes Carrara marble abstract figures and faces, black granite Ganesha, sacred relief and free-standing temple forms, carved bowls, planters and sculptural parasol bases. New work can follow a client's approved design or be developed from a clear reference and brief.

Material changes the sculpture. Carrara and white marble support luminous surfaces and clean transitions; granite is harder and visually dense; sandstone and limestone lend warmth and readable tool texture. The choice must suit the form, exposure and handling plan.









02


Scale, base and approval


The proposal establishes final dimensions, intended viewing angles, indoor or outdoor setting, plinth or base, lifting points and any fixing interface. For figurative or symbolic work, the client approves proportions and key views before the block is committed.

CNC roughing may remove bulk or establish a complex datum, while modelling, transitions, undercuts, expression and final texture are resolved by hand. Work-stage photographs and video provide clear approval points.

03


Commissioning information


Send the concept or reference, dimensions, preferred stone, setting, climate, base condition, delivery location and deadline. If the final design exists as a 3D model or maquette, include scale and authorship or permission information.

Stonegraph supplies the carved piece and packing. Site foundations, anchors, lifting plans and installation must be designed and carried out by qualified local professionals using the final weight and interface information.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Can Stonegraph carve a sculpture from a photograph?

A photograph can begin the conversation, but multiple views, dimensions and an approved interpretation are normally needed for a convincing three-dimensional piece.




02 Does Stonegraph make contemporary as well as traditional sculpture?

Yes. The photographed collection includes abstract Carrara marble figures and faces alongside sacred and architectural pieces.




03 Can sculpture be made for outdoor use?

Yes, when the stone, base, drainage, finish, exposure and fixing are designed for the climate. The local engineer or installer should approve foundations and anchoring.




04 How is a heavy sculpture exported?

Its weight, centre of gravity, vulnerable projections and lifting points inform a purpose-built reinforced crate. Final installation remains with the client's local team.

Sandstone carving







Rajasthan stone, read before it is cut

Sandstone carving chosen for grain, exposure and the right depth.

Sandstone is not one material. Colour, grain size, bedding, porosity, strength and weathering vary by quarry and bed. The required carving and setting decide which characteristics matter.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Where sandstone works well


Stonegraph uses sandstone for warm relief murals, botanical panels, mandir and sacred work, jali, gate pillars, planters, parasol bases and architectural ornament. Its granular surface can hold a strong hand-finished texture and reads naturally in gardens, courtyards and Rajasthan-inspired architecture.

Fine open lattice, exposed projections and deep undercuts need careful stone selection and sufficient section. A beautiful colour is not enough if the selected bed cannot safely carry the design.









02


Bedding, finish and weathering


The orientation of natural bedding affects how a piece should be cut and used. Exterior work also requires attention to water paths, top surfaces, salts, freeze-thaw conditions where relevant, fixings and maintenance. Those decisions belong in the architectural detail, not only in the carving model.

Finish can range from crisply tooled to softly hand-worked. Samples help establish how the selected stone, relief and surface look in the project's actual light before a larger package is produced.

03


Supply from Jaipur


A quotation needs drawings or references, dimensions, quantity, intended quarry or colour if specified, exposure, finish and delivery location. Stonegraph advises whether the desired detail is sensible in the proposed material.

Work is inspected, dry-assembled where relevant, numbered and packed to its form. International delivery uses reinforced crates and setting-out information for installation by the client's contractor.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Is sandstone suitable for detailed carving?

Many sandstones carve well, but grain, bedding and strength differ. Detail must be sized for the selected stone and exposure rather than assumed from colour alone.




02 Can sandstone carving be used outdoors?

Yes, with a suitable stone and correct architectural detailing for bedding, drainage, fixings, exposed edges and the local climate.




03 Can Stonegraph match an existing sandstone?

Usually a sample, quarry name or clear photographs are needed. Natural variation remains, so larger projects should approve a representative range rather than a single perfect piece.




04 Does Stonegraph export sandstone carving?

Yes. Pieces can be numbered and packed in reinforced export crates with setting-out information for local installation.

Marble carving







Detail, translucency and a surface finished by hand

Custom marble carving for sacred, architectural and contemporary work.

Marble can carry a fine arris, a soft polished transition or a deep carved shadow, but each variety behaves differently. Selection begins with the design, block size, veining, exposure and the finish the project requires.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


What Stonegraph carves in marble


The collection includes relief murals, domestic mandirs, tiered shrines, jali, carved arches and pillars, deity panels, contemporary Carrara sculpture, planters, bowls, tables, brass inlay and pietra dura floors. White, Makrana, Carrara, Statuario and other marbles are considered according to availability and suitability.

Names alone do not guarantee a block. Veining, fissures, colour range and usable size must be checked for the actual commission, especially where a face, inscription, open screen or long uninterrupted profile cannot cross a weakness.









02


Machined geometry, hand-resolved surface


CNC machining establishes repeated profiles, panel registration and controlled relief. Carvers then refine internal detail, remove the visual logic of the cutter and tune the surface from matte to honed or polished according to the design.

Inlay pockets and adjoining pieces require controlled fit; sculptural and relief surfaces require visual judgement. Treating both as the same tolerance problem produces worse stonework, not greater precision.

Jali, arches, pillars and profiles
Contemporary and figurative sculpture
Brass, stone and pietra dura inlay

03


Approving the marble and the finish


For large or visually critical work, approve representative material range and a finish sample. Natural stone will not repeat like manufactured tile, and a truthful sample process is more useful than promising identical pieces.

Send the design, dimensions, preferred marble, finish, exposure, delivery location and programme. Stonegraph can advise alternatives where the desired block size or detail is not responsible in the first choice.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Does Stonegraph carve Makrana marble?

Makrana marble can be considered along with other marbles according to the design, block availability, veining, finish and required detail.




02 Can marble carving be polished?

Yes. Areas may be matte, honed, polished or deliberately textured. The finish should support the relief and setting rather than flatten every surface into the same reflection.




03 Can a large marble mural be made in one slab?

Sometimes, but block availability, weight, handling, veining and installation often make a carefully joined multi-panel composition the better solution.




04 Can marble carving be shipped internationally?

Yes. Work is protected according to weight and fragile detail, packed in reinforced crates and numbered where it forms a larger assembly.

Stone inlay







Pattern set into the stone, not printed onto it

Stone inlay designed for fit, wear and the scale of the room.

Inlay must read as a drawing and behave as a floor or panel. Piece size, pocket depth, stone movement, edge strength, finish, substrate and the traffic it will receive all influence the pattern.

01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Floors, medallions, panels and integrated detail


Stonegraph makes geometric inlaid floor carpets, star medallions, floral pietra dura, marble-and-brass lotus panels, sacred back panels and inlay integrated into carved walls and mandirs. Designs can be developed from architectural artwork or commissioned references.

A floor seen across a hall needs bolder line weights than a close-viewed devotional panel. Tiny pieces are not proof of quality if they weaken edges or disappear at the intended viewing distance.









02


Materials and production logic


The palette may combine marble, contrasting natural stones, semi-precious material and brass. Compatibility, expected wear, staining risk, polish and maintenance are considered with the designer before the final selection.

Computer-controlled cutting can hold repeated geometry and pockets; fitting, adjustment, filling, grinding and the final continuous surface require patient hand work. Large compositions are mapped and numbered for installation.

03


What a quotation needs


Provide the design or reference, finished dimensions, application, substrate information, stone palette if specified, expected traffic or exposure, finish and delivery location. At concept stage, Stonegraph can advise line weight, modular divisions and practical material combinations.

Installation quality is essential to the final flatness and jointing of a floor. Overseas packages are supplied for installation and final finishing by qualified local trades using the project's approved method.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 What is pietra dura?

Pietra dura is a form of decorative inlay in which precisely shaped coloured stones are fitted into a stone ground to create floral, geometric or pictorial designs.




02 Can brass be combined with marble inlay?

Yes. Stonegraph's photographed work includes marble-and-brass wall panels and floor details. Metal thickness, movement, finishing and maintenance must be coordinated.




03 Can a large inlaid floor be supplied in sections?

Yes. The composition can be divided into numbered modules mapped to a setting-out drawing for assembly and finishing by the site team.




04 Is inlay suitable for high-traffic floors?

It can be when materials, piece size, depth, substrate, joints, finish and maintenance are designed for the traffic. The project designer and installer should approve the complete floor system.

Garden stone







Outdoor pieces with weight, drainage and weather in mind

Garden stone made for the object it supports and the climate around it.

Outdoor stone is not interior ornament moved outside. Water, soil, metal fittings, wind, sun, salts, freeze-thaw exposure where relevant and safe handling all change the detail.


Start a commission 
See completed work 













Made to order in the Stonegraph workshop, Jaipur. 







01 Made to order Drawings and references developed for stone.

02 Cut and hand-finished Machined geometry resolved at the carving bench.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


Parasol bases, planters, bowls and sculpture


The garden collection includes sandstone parasol bases in lotus, palm, fluted and scroll forms; marble and sandstone planters; lotus bowls and urli; pierced cylinders; gate pillars; carved stands and free-standing sculpture. Pieces can be commissioned to suit a specific parasol, planting scheme or landscape language.

A parasol base must coordinate pole diameter, sleeve or fitting, required ballast, footprint, drainage and safe movement. A planter needs drainage, internal dimensions and an understanding of wet soil weight rather than only an attractive exterior profile.









02


Stone choice and outdoor detailing


Sandstone gives warmth and a natural hand-worked surface; marble can make a luminous or sculptural garden object where the climate and maintenance suit it. Surface finish, exposed top faces, water traps and metal interfaces require deliberate detailing.

Natural weathering should be expected and understood. Stonegraph advises on carving and material; the landscape architect or local professional should approve stability, anchors, wind loading, foundations and climate-specific installation.

Planters, urns, lotus bowls and urli
Garden sculpture and carved focal pieces
Gate pillars and landscape accents

03


Supplying one piece or a landscape set


There is no fixed minimum. A single sculptural base and a coordinated set of planters both begin with dimensions, function, preferred stone, finish, exposure and delivery location.

Heavy outdoor pieces are packed around their centre of gravity and vulnerable edges. Overseas supply includes export crating; unloading, foundations and final placement remain with the client's local team.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Can Stonegraph make a parasol base to a specific pole size?

Yes. Provide the pole and fitting dimensions, desired footprint, required ballast, drainage needs and the parasol manufacturer's stability requirements.




02 Which stone is suitable for outdoor planters?

The choice depends on climate, water exposure, wall thickness, size and finish. Suitable sandstones and marbles may be considered with correct drainage and installation.




03 Can garden pieces be made as a matching set?

Yes. Profiles, motifs and dimensions can be coordinated across planters, bowls, stands, pillars and other landscape elements.




04 Can a single garden stone piece be exported?

Yes. Stonegraph has no fixed minimum; freight practicality depends on the piece's size, weight and destination.

Hospitality stone from sample to numbered supply

Bespoke stonework for lobbies, suites, courtyards and arrival spaces.

01


A portfolio grounded in hospitality work


Stonegraph's recorded portfolio includes stonework across The Oberoi Udaivilas, Amarvilas, Rajvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas. The stated scope covers jali, flooring, pillars, columns, inlay, statues and bespoke artifacts.

For new commissions, the same workshop can coordinate relief walls, entrance stone, screens, columns, decorative floors, sculpture, tables, planters and landscape pieces so the architectural language does not split between unrelated suppliers.









02


Samples, approvals and repeated rooms


A representative sample establishes stone range, relief, hand finish, edge quality and how the surface reads under the project's lighting. Repeated suites or bays then use controlled geometry while allowing natural stone to remain visibly natural.

Shop drawings, room types, joint strategy, piece weights, access and packing sequence are coordinated with the design and construction teams. The local project professionals retain responsibility for structure, fixings and compliance.

Supply that fits the construction programme


Large work is dry-assembled in Jaipur where practical and photographed before dispatch. Pieces are numbered to setting-out information and crates are organized so the site team can open and install in a useful sequence.

Stonegraph supplies internationally without sending an installation crew abroad. This keeps the hotel contractor in control of access, lifting, substrates and programme while the workshop remains accountable for the carved stone package.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 What hotel stonework can Stonegraph supply?

Lobby murals, jali, pillars, arches, inlaid floors, sculpture, artifacts, tables, planters, garden pieces and other made-to-order architectural stone.




02 Can a finish sample be approved before production?

Yes. Samples or mock-ups are recommended where stone range, lighting, relief, finish or repeated profiles are visually critical.




03 Can Stonegraph coordinate repeated rooms or facade bays?

Yes. Digital geometry supports repeatability, while quality control and hand-finishing maintain the intended visible surface across units.




04 Does Stonegraph install in overseas hotels?

No. Overseas projects use a supply-only model supported by numbered pieces and setting-out information for the main contractor's qualified installers.

03 Coordinated supply Approval, numbering and packing planned for the work.







01


What is made at the Jaipur studio


The workshop makes stone murals, jali screens, marble mandirs, sacred reliefs, pillars and columns, architectural profiles, sculpture, garden stone and inlay. Work is made to order rather than selected from a fixed product catalogue.

Stonegraph is the export wing of Kumawat Enterprises, established in 1990, and describes a seven-generation family carving lineage. Ravi Kumawat founded Stonegraph in 2018 to bring that workshop practice to architectural clients in India and abroad.









02


Local material knowledge, project-scale documentation


Working in Rajasthan gives the studio practical familiarity with sandstone and marble supply, but proximity does not replace selection. Quarry, bed, block, veins, bedding and usable size are checked against each design.

The project leaves the drawing office with panel divisions, weights and an assembly logic, not only an attractive render. CNC geometry, hand-finishing, dry assembly and documented packing happen within the same production chain.

01


What Stonegraph exports


The workshop supplies stone murals and relief walls, jali, mandirs and sacred panels, architectural profiles, sculpture, parasol bases, planters, bowls and inlaid features. Existing markets named on the site include the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Malaysia.

There is no single export format. A solid garden base, open marble jali and deep multi-panel relief fail in different ways under impact, so their internal support and crate design differ.









02


From approval to the crate


Drawings define stone, dimensions, joints, pieces and installation sequence. Work is photographed through production and dry-assembled where appropriate. The client approves the completed assembly before it is marked and packed.

Reinforced sea-worthy crates are built around weight and fragility. Pieces carry numbers corresponding to the setting-out information so the receiving team can identify and install them in order.

03


Information needed for an export quotation


Provide drawings or references, dimensions, quantity, preferred stone, finish, destination city and country, required date and whether pricing should stop at the workshop, port or another agreed handover point. Freight and import arrangements depend on the agreed commercial terms.

The importer and local professionals remain responsible for destination regulations, duties, permits, final lifting, foundations, fixings and installation. Stonegraph supplies accurate piece and packing information for that coordination.












Practical answers

Questions before a stone brief.





01 Which countries does Stonegraph supply?

The site records supply to India, the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Malaysia, with other destinations considered according to the project and freight route.




02 Does Stonegraph install carved stone overseas?

No. Overseas commissions use a supply-only model. The client's qualified local contractor handles unloading, foundations, fixings and installation.




03 How are multi-piece stone features identified?

Pieces are numbered to a setting-out drawing after dry assembly, so the receiving team can identify their position and sequence.




04 Is there a minimum export order?

No fixed minimum is stated. A single sculptural piece and large architectural packages are both possible; freight practicality depends on size, weight and destination.

## Questions and answers (120)

### Stonegraph — https://stonegraph.com/

**Q: What is Stonegraph?**

A: Stonegraph is a made-to-order architectural stone carving workshop in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. It designs, carves, hand-finishes, dry-assembles and crates bespoke stone — murals, jali screens, marble mandirs, pillars, sculpture, inlay and garden pieces — for hotels, temples, residences and public buildings, and supplies them worldwide. It is the export studio of Kumawat Enterprises, established in 1990, and continues a family carving lineage now in its seventh generation.

**Q: Where is Stonegraph located?**

A: The workshop is at I-83, ARG Industrial Park, Bagru, Ajmer Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan 303007, India. It is open Monday to Saturday, 09:30 to 18:30 IST. Jaipur is the centre of the Indian architectural stone trade, and the studio carves, finishes, dry-assembles and crates everything on one site rather than subcontracting stages out.

**Q: What does Stonegraph make?**

A: Five collections: bespoke stone murals and wall reliefs; sacred work including marble mandirs, shrines, gopurams and temple furniture; architectural elements such as jali screens, pillars, columns, arches, brackets and cladding; surfaces and inlays including inlaid floors, medallions and carved fields; and garden and outdoor pieces such as parasol bases, planters, fountains and statuary. Everything is made to a drawing rather than picked from a catalogue.

**Q: Which stones does Stonegraph carve?**

A: Principally marble, sandstone, limestone, travertine and granite. The choice is made against what the piece has to do — where it stands, how much light it takes, whether it is inside or weathering outdoors, and how deep the carving needs to go — rather than by appearance alone.

**Q: Does Stonegraph work with CNC machines or by hand?**

A: Both, on every piece, in that order. Advanced CNC carving holds the architectural geometry to the production tolerance agreed for the work, so repeated profiles align consistently across an elevation. A hereditary carver then takes the cut piece and does what no tooling reaches: undercuts are deepened, organic flows are softened, textures are raised and the surface is hand-polished. Most suppliers are one or the other — a machine shop that cannot carve, or a carver who cannot hold a tolerance.

**Q: Does Stonegraph ship internationally?**

A: Yes. Stonegraph supplies carved stone from Jaipur to India, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Malaysia, and elsewhere on request. Work is dry-assembled and photographed in the workshop before it is taken apart, numbered piece by piece, crated for export and shipped with a setting-out drawing.

**Q: Does Stonegraph install the stone on site?**

A: Not on overseas projects. The model abroad is supply-only: Stonegraph designs, carves, finishes, numbers and crates the work, and the client's own qualified contractor installs it from the numbered pieces and the setting-out drawing supplied with the consignment. Supervision on Indian projects can be discussed separately.

**Q: Which landmark projects has Stonegraph worked on?**

A: Stone cut, carved and finished in the Jaipur workshop stands in the Oberoi hotel series — Udaivilas, Amarvilas, Rajvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas — at ISKCON Kharghar in Navi Mumbai, at Patrika Gate on Jawahar Circle in Jaipur, at Jawahar Kala Kendra and at the Rajasthan Assembly. The portfolio page sets out what was supplied to each.

**Q: How does a commission start?**

A: With a drawing, a photograph or a description of the space. Stonegraph reads it for feasibility — whether the geometry can be held in the stone proposed, at the size and depth wanted — and comes back with the material, the method and what it takes. Enquiries can start remotely from anywhere; visits to the Bagru workshop are arranged in advance.

### The studio — https://stonegraph.com/studio.html

**Q: What happens inside the Stonegraph workshop?**

A: Every stage of a commission, on one site in Bagru, Jaipur: drawing and setting-out, CNC stone carving, hand carving and hand-finishing by hereditary artisans, dry assembly, inspection, and export crating. Keeping the stages together is why a tolerance agreed at the drawing survives to the crate — nothing is handed to a subcontractor between them.

**Q: Can I visit the Stonegraph workshop?**

A: Yes, by arrangement. The workshop is at I-83, ARG Industrial Park, Bagru, Ajmer Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan 303007 and is open Monday to Saturday, 09:30 to 18:30 IST. Visits are arranged in advance so that the work being discussed is on the benches when you arrive.

**Q: Who does the carving?**

A: Hereditary carvers whose families have worked this stone for seven generations, alongside CNC machining. The machine holds a tolerance no hand can; the hand reads a stone no machine can. Every piece gets both, and the hand always comes second.

**Q: What tolerance does Stonegraph hold?**

A: The production tolerance agreed for the work, set at the drawing stage against what the piece has to do. Architectural geometry that has to repeat across an elevation is held by CNC so that repeated profiles align consistently; the hand-finishing that follows is judged against the drawing rather than left to vary piece by piece.

**Q: How large a piece can the workshop handle?**

A: Large-format work is cut in sections, dry-assembled in the workshop, photographed assembled, then taken apart and numbered so the joints fall where the drawing says rather than where an installer guesses. Feature walls, multi-panel compositions and full elevations are supplied this way.

**Q: Is there a minimum order?**

A: No. Stonegraph takes single commissioned pieces as well as multi-year architectural programmes; the studio has supplied both a single carved panel and complete hotel and temple schemes.

### Our story — https://stonegraph.com/story.html

**Q: How old is Stonegraph?**

A: Stonegraph was established in 2018 as the global studio of Kumawat Enterprises, which was founded in 1990 by Badri Prasad Kumawat. The carving lineage behind both is older than either: seven generations of master stone carvers, with over two centuries of hand-carving passed from father to son.

**Q: Who founded Stonegraph?**

A: Ravi Kumawat founded Stonegraph in 2018. It is the export wing of Kumawat Enterprises, established in 1990 by Badri Prasad Kumawat, and it belongs to a family of master stone carvers from Jaipur, Rajasthan now in its seventh generation.

**Q: What does 'seventh generation' actually mean here?**

A: That the craft was inherited rather than only learned. The carvers working the stone are from families who have cut it for seven generations, and the technique — how a chisel is held, how a stone is read before it is touched — was passed down within those families rather than taught from a manual.

**Q: Why does Stonegraph use CNC if the craft is hereditary?**

A: Because the two solve different problems and the studio refuses to choose. Machine carving holds a repeatable architectural geometry a hand cannot repeat exactly across an elevation; hand carving reads the grain, deepens an undercut and finishes a surface in a way no tooling reaches. Using only one is what makes a supplier either a machine shop that cannot carve or a carver who cannot hold a tolerance.

**Q: Is Stonegraph the same company as Kumawat Enterprises?**

A: Stonegraph is the export and design studio of Kumawat Enterprises. Kumawat Enterprises was established in 1990; Stonegraph was established in 2018 to take the same workshop's work to international projects.

### Stone collections — https://stonegraph.com/collections.html

**Q: Are the collections a catalogue you order from?**

A: No. Every piece is made to order against a drawing. The five collections — murals, sacred spaces, architectural elements, surfaces and inlays, and garden and outdoor — are how the work is grouped so a specifier can find the relevant precedent, not a stock list. Pieces shown are examples of what has been carved, and the same treatment can be cut at another size, in another stone, to another design.

**Q: What is a stone jali?**

A: A jali is a pierced stone screen: a panel cut through with a repeating geometric or floral pattern so it filters light and air while still reading as solid stone. Stonegraph cuts jali in marble and sandstone for windows, balustrades, partitions, facades and gates, holding the pattern to a tolerance so panels align across an opening.

**Q: What is a marble mandir?**

A: A mandir is a temple or home shrine carved in stone — usually white marble — with a canopy, pillars, steps and a sanctum for the deity. Stonegraph carves mandirs from home shrines to full temple work, including gopurams, prabhavali, carved shloka, shrines and temple furniture, to the iconography the space calls for.

**Q: What is stone inlay?**

A: Inlay is a pattern cut into one stone and filled flush with pieces of another, then ground and polished so the surface is continuous to the touch. Stonegraph produces inlaid floors, medallions, borders and carved fields, set flush and polished on the bench before they are crated.

**Q: Can a design be made in a different stone?**

A: Usually, and it is a decision worth making deliberately. The same design cut in white marble, beige limestone, travertine or Rajasthan sandstone reads differently — depth of shadow, how much light the surface returns, how it will weather outdoors. The studio advises against the material as well as for it when a stone will not do what the drawing asks.

**Q: How long does a commissioned piece take?**

A: It depends on size, depth of relief and how much of the work is hand-finished, and it is quoted per commission rather than as a standard lead time. Stonegraph states what a piece takes when it reads the drawing, before the work is agreed.

### Portfolio — https://stonegraph.com/portfolio.html

**Q: Which hotels has Stonegraph supplied?**

A: The Oberoi series — Udaivilas, Amarvilas, Rajvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas — carried stone jali, flooring, pillars and columns, inlay, statues and bespoke artifacts cut and finished in the Jaipur workshop.

**Q: Which temples has Stonegraph worked on?**

A: ISKCON Kharghar in Navi Mumbai, where the studio supplied hand-painted ceilings and extensive bespoke marble work from the sanctum through to the wall reliefs.

**Q: Which public landmarks carry Stonegraph stone?**

A: Patrika Gate on Jawahar Circle in Jaipur, where the studio carried out structural stone artistry and precision carving on the arches and facades; Jawahar Kala Kendra; and the Rajasthan Assembly.

**Q: Can Stonegraph work to an architect's drawing?**

A: Yes — that is the normal way a commission runs. Drawings become toolpaths: complex 3D reliefs, repeating architectural textures and multi-layer arches are cut to the agreed production tolerance so repeated profiles align consistently on site, then hand-finished before dry assembly and inspection.

**Q: Are references and site photographs available?**

A: Yes. Named commissions are listed on this page with the material, the location and what was supplied. Work is also photographed dry-assembled in the workshop before it is crated, so a client sees the finished composition standing before it is taken apart for shipping.

### Global supply — https://stonegraph.com/global.html

**Q: Which countries does Stonegraph supply?**

A: India, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Malaysia, and elsewhere on request. The studio designs and supplies from Jaipur, Rajasthan; local teams install on international projects.

**Q: How is carved stone shipped without damage?**

A: It is dry-assembled and photographed in the workshop, taken apart, numbered piece by piece and crated for export with a setting-out drawing. Numbering is what makes the difference on arrival: the joints fall where the drawing says rather than where an installer guesses.

**Q: Who installs the stone in another country?**

A: The client's own qualified contractor. Stonegraph operates a supply-only model internationally — design, carving, finishing, numbering and crating here; installation by a local team from the numbered pieces and setting-out drawing. It keeps a project from depending on a visa.

**Q: Can Stonegraph work with an overseas architect remotely?**

A: Yes. A commission can begin with a drawing, a photograph or a description sent from anywhere. Feasibility, material and method are settled before anything is cut, and the workshop reports back with photographs as the work progresses.

**Q: Does Stonegraph supply to trade — architects, interior designers and contractors?**

A: Yes. Much of the studio's work is specified by architects and interior designers and supplied into hotel, temple, residential and public projects. Setting-out drawings, numbered pieces and dry-assembly photographs are produced for exactly that audience.

### What we carve — https://stonegraph.com/what-we-carve.html

**Q: What is a bespoke stone mural?**

A: A wall relief carved into stone panels to a commissioned design, rather than a printed or applied decoration. Stonegraph cuts deep 3D relief in beige limestone, white marble, travertine and sandstone — CNC-cut and then hand-refined — as single panels or joined multi-panel compositions for feature walls, lobbies, headboards and backlit installations.

**Q: What is the difference between carved and cast stone?**

A: Carved stone is cut away from a solid block of natural stone; cast stone is a moulded mix poured to shape. Carving keeps the grain, the depth of undercut and the way light moves across a real surface; casting repeats a mould. Everything Stonegraph makes is cut from natural stone.

**Q: Which stone should be specified for outdoor work?**

A: Something chosen to weather rather than stain. Rajasthan sandstone and granite are the usual answers for garden and outdoor pieces — parasol bases, planters, fountains and statuary — where marble and limestone are better suited to interiors. The studio advises against a material when it will not do what the drawing asks.

**Q: How deep can stone be carved?**

A: Deep 3D relief is standard work here — the geometry is CNC-cut and then hand-refined, so undercuts can be taken further than tooling alone reaches. How deep is a function of the stone, the panel thickness and where the piece will stand, and it is settled at the drawing stage.

**Q: Can Stonegraph match an existing carving or restore a pattern?**

A: Send the drawing or the photograph. The studio reads it for feasibility first — whether the geometry can be held in the stone proposed, at the size and depth wanted — and says what it takes before anything is agreed.

### How it is made — https://stonegraph.com/how-its-made.html

**Q: How is a stone carving actually made at Stonegraph?**

A: In two stages, in this order. First the cut: drawings become toolpaths and CNC carving takes complex 3D reliefs, repeating architectural textures and multi-layer arches to the agreed production tolerance. Then the finish: every cut piece goes to a hereditary carver who deepens undercuts, softens organic flows, raises textures and hand-polishes the surface until the stone catches light the way it should. The work is then dry-assembled, inspected, numbered and crated.

**Q: Why not carve entirely by hand?**

A: Because a hand cannot repeat one. Architectural geometry that has to align across an elevation needs a tolerance held identically many times over, which is what machine carving is for. The hand is what no machine replaces — reading the stone, taking the undercut further, and finishing the surface — so it comes second rather than instead.

**Q: What is dry assembly and why does it matter?**

A: The finished pieces are assembled in the workshop without fixing, photographed standing, then taken apart and numbered. It proves the composition works and the joints close before the stone leaves Jaipur, which is the last moment a problem is cheap to fix.

**Q: What is a setting-out drawing?**

A: The drawing that tells the installer which numbered piece goes where. It ships with every consignment alongside the numbered stone, which is what allows a local contractor to install work they have never seen being made.

**Q: How is quality checked before shipping?**

A: Each piece is inspected after hand-finishing and again at dry assembly, when the whole composition stands together and the joints can be read. Only then is it taken apart, numbered and crated.

### Where the work stands — https://stonegraph.com/where-it-stands.html

**Q: What carved stone suits a hotel lobby?**

A: Large-format panels with sectional joints and deep relief. A lobby is a room people wait in, so it is read twice — once from the door and again close up at the desk — which is where a wall carved edge to edge earns its cost. Pieces at that scale are cut in sections, dry-assembled in the workshop and numbered so the joints fall where the drawing says.

**Q: What is specified for a temple or prayer room?**

A: Prabhavali, carved shloka, gilding and backlighting, in white marble and the iconography the space calls for. Stonegraph carves mandirs, shrines, gopurams and temple furniture, from a home shrine to full temple work.

**Q: What works in a residence?**

A: Framed panels, shallow relief, and pieces either fixed or free-standing. Headboards, feature walls, entrance panels and courtyard pieces are the usual commissions, sized to the room rather than to a standard panel.

**Q: What suits a gallery or a modern interior?**

A: Carrara, free-standing sculpture and abstract form. Where a traditional scheme calls for pattern and depth, a modern interior more often calls for a single carved object that holds a room on its own.

**Q: Does carved stone work outdoors in a courtyard or garden?**

A: Yes, with the material chosen to weather rather than stain — typically Rajasthan sandstone or granite. Parasol bases, planters, fountains and garden statuary are made for exactly that, and the studio will say when a stone is wrong for an exposed position.

### Stone carving services — https://stonegraph.com/stone-carving-services.html

**Q: What types of stone carving does Stonegraph make?**

A: Stonegraph makes bespoke murals, relief panels, jali screens, mandirs, sacred panels, pillars, columns, sculpture, garden stone, carved surfaces and inlay for architectural and interior projects.

**Q: Can work be made from an architect's CAD drawing?**

A: Yes. CAD files and elevations are ideal, but a sketch, reference image or site photograph is enough to start. The drawing is converted into a stone-specific proposal with material, joints, weights and achievable detail.

**Q: Is there a minimum order?**

A: No. The workshop handles single sculptural pieces as well as repeated architectural work. Scale changes programming and freight, not the requirement for a clear drawing and sign-off.

**Q: Does Stonegraph export carved stone?**

A: Yes. Stonegraph supplies internationally using reinforced sea-worthy crates, numbered pieces and setting-out drawings so the client's local contractor can install the work.

### Stone murals — https://stonegraph.com/stone-murals.html

**Q: What is the difference between a stone mural and stone wall cladding?**

A: A stone mural carries a composed relief or image across one or more pieces. Cladding may be textured or patterned, but it usually repeats. A mural requires composition, relief depth and joint placement to be designed as one wall.

**Q: Can a 3D stone mural be made from a photograph?**

A: A photograph can start the design, but depth must be interpreted rather than copied. Stonegraph converts the reference into a relief suitable for the chosen material, scale, light and safe edge thickness.

**Q: Which stone is best for a wall mural?**

A: There is no universal best stone. Marble suits crisp detail, limestone reads softly in relief, sandstone gives a warmer texture and travertine has strong natural character. Exposure and the motif decide the choice.

**Q: Can large murals be shipped outside India?**

A: Yes. Large work is divided into numbered pieces, dry-assembled before dispatch and supplied with a setting-out drawing in reinforced export crates.

### Stone jali — https://stonegraph.com/stone-jali.html

**Q: Can Stonegraph make a custom jali pattern?**

A: Yes. A pattern can come from CAD, vector artwork, an architectural reference or a sketch. It is redrawn for the panel size, stone, minimum web thickness, edges and fixing zones.

**Q: Is marble or sandstone better for jali?**

A: Marble usually gives a crisper, brighter edge; sandstone gives a warmer surface. Panel size, exposure, thickness and pattern density are more important than a material name alone.

**Q: Can stone jali be used outdoors?**

A: Yes, when the selected stone, thickness, drainage, structural support and fixing details suit the exposure. These conditions should be resolved with the project architect or engineer.

**Q: How are fragile jali panels shipped?**

A: They are inspected, individually supported and braced in reinforced crates. Panels are numbered to match the setting-out drawing so the site team installs them in sequence.

### Marble mandirs — https://stonegraph.com/marble-mandir.html

**Q: Does Stonegraph make custom marble mandirs for homes?**

A: Yes. Each mandir is made to the room, deity or shrine dimensions, preferred style and practical requirements such as storage, lighting and access for installation.

**Q: What measurements are needed for a marble mandir quote?**

A: Overall available width, height and depth are the starting point. Deity size, platform height, room access, electrical points, preferred stone and reference images make the proposal more precise.

**Q: Can jali and inlay be included in a mandir?**

A: Yes. Stone jali, carved borders, brass or stone inlay, backlighting and relief panels can be integrated when their thickness, fixing and maintenance are resolved in the drawing.

**Q: Can a marble mandir be exported?**

A: Yes. It is dry-assembled before dispatch, divided into manageable numbered pieces and supplied in reinforced crates with setting-out information for local installation.

### Temple stone carving — https://stonegraph.com/temple-stone-carving.html

**Q: Can Stonegraph carve from approved temple drawings?**

A: Yes. Architectural drawings, deity references, inscriptions and approved iconography can be converted into a stone-specific production package with joints, depths and piece divisions.

**Q: Does the workshop make both traditional and contemporary sacred work?**

A: Yes. The photographed work ranges from tiered gopuram-inspired shrines and deity reliefs to quieter wall-mounted panels, jali, inlay and contemporary sacred compositions.

**Q: How are iconography and inscriptions approved?**

A: The client or appointed authority approves the subject, text and proportions. Stonegraph supplies drawings and work-stage photographs so corrections happen before final finishing and packing.

**Q: Can temple stonework be supplied overseas?**

A: Yes. Components are dry-assembled where appropriate, numbered and packed in reinforced export crates with setting-out information for the local installation team.

### CNC stone carving — https://stonegraph.com/cnc-stone-carving.html

**Q: What file formats can be used for CNC stone carving?**

A: CAD, vector drawings and 3D models are useful, but an elevation, scan, sketch or photograph can also begin the process. Production geometry is rebuilt for the chosen stone, scale and cutters.

**Q: Is CNC stone carving fully automatic?**

A: No. Setup, block orientation, tooling, toolpaths and monitoring require skilled decisions, and Stonegraph hand-finishes every piece where the final detail or surface calls for it.

**Q: Can CNC carving reproduce a pattern across many panels?**

A: Yes. Repeatability and panel registration are key reasons to use machining, provided joints, datum points, stone variation and the installation grid are designed in advance.

**Q: Can an existing carving be reproduced?**

A: It may be possible from drawings, photographs, scans or a physical sample, subject to rights, access, stone choice and the detail that the source information actually captures.

### Architectural stone carving — https://stonegraph.com/architectural-stone-carving.html

**Q: Does Stonegraph work with architects and interior designers?**

A: Yes. The workshop works from design drawings, elevations, schedules, models and references, and returns stone-specific information on material, divisions, detail, weights and assembly.

**Q: Can Stonegraph supply repeated facade elements?**

A: Yes. CNC machining is used to hold repeated profiles and registration, followed by hand-finishing and quality checks. Samples can be approved before the full run.

**Q: Who designs the fixings and structure?**

A: The project's architect, structural engineer and specialist installer retain responsibility for structural design and site compliance. Stonegraph coordinates the stone dimensions, weights, joints and practical fixing zones with them.

**Q: Does Stonegraph install architectural stone overseas?**

A: No. Overseas projects use a supply-only model. Numbered pieces and setting-out information support installation by the client's qualified local contractor.

### Stone columns and pillars — https://stonegraph.com/stone-columns-pillars.html

**Q: Can Stonegraph make a matched set of carved pillars?**

A: Yes. Repeated profiles can be machined from a coordinated model, hand-finished and checked as a set so mouldings and decorative levels align.

**Q: Can columns be shipped in separate sections?**

A: Yes. Large columns commonly divide into numbered units according to block size, handling, joints and the approved structural concept.

**Q: Does Stonegraph engineer load-bearing columns?**

A: Structural responsibility remains with the project's appointed engineer. Stonegraph supplies stone dimensions, weights and practical production information to coordinate with that design.

**Q: Which stones can be used for pillars?**

A: Marble, sandstone, limestone and other suitable natural stones may be considered. Load, exposure, detail, block availability and finish determine the responsible choice.

### Stone sculpture — https://stonegraph.com/stone-sculpture.html

**Q: Can Stonegraph carve a sculpture from a photograph?**

A: A photograph can begin the conversation, but multiple views, dimensions and an approved interpretation are normally needed for a convincing three-dimensional piece.

**Q: Does Stonegraph make contemporary as well as traditional sculpture?**

A: Yes. The photographed collection includes abstract Carrara marble figures and faces alongside sacred and architectural pieces.

**Q: Can sculpture be made for outdoor use?**

A: Yes, when the stone, base, drainage, finish, exposure and fixing are designed for the climate. The local engineer or installer should approve foundations and anchoring.

**Q: How is a heavy sculpture exported?**

A: Its weight, centre of gravity, vulnerable projections and lifting points inform a purpose-built reinforced crate. Final installation remains with the client's local team.

### Sandstone carving — https://stonegraph.com/sandstone-carving.html

**Q: Is sandstone suitable for detailed carving?**

A: Many sandstones carve well, but grain, bedding and strength differ. Detail must be sized for the selected stone and exposure rather than assumed from colour alone.

**Q: Can sandstone carving be used outdoors?**

A: Yes, with a suitable stone and correct architectural detailing for bedding, drainage, fixings, exposed edges and the local climate.

**Q: Can Stonegraph match an existing sandstone?**

A: Usually a sample, quarry name or clear photographs are needed. Natural variation remains, so larger projects should approve a representative range rather than a single perfect piece.

**Q: Does Stonegraph export sandstone carving?**

A: Yes. Pieces can be numbered and packed in reinforced export crates with setting-out information for local installation.

### Marble carving — https://stonegraph.com/marble-carving.html

**Q: Does Stonegraph carve Makrana marble?**

A: Makrana marble can be considered along with other marbles according to the design, block availability, veining, finish and required detail.

**Q: Can marble carving be polished?**

A: Yes. Areas may be matte, honed, polished or deliberately textured. The finish should support the relief and setting rather than flatten every surface into the same reflection.

**Q: Can a large marble mural be made in one slab?**

A: Sometimes, but block availability, weight, handling, veining and installation often make a carefully joined multi-panel composition the better solution.

**Q: Can marble carving be shipped internationally?**

A: Yes. Work is protected according to weight and fragile detail, packed in reinforced crates and numbered where it forms a larger assembly.

### Stone inlay — https://stonegraph.com/stone-inlay.html

**Q: What is pietra dura?**

A: Pietra dura is a form of decorative inlay in which precisely shaped coloured stones are fitted into a stone ground to create floral, geometric or pictorial designs.

**Q: Can brass be combined with marble inlay?**

A: Yes. Stonegraph's photographed work includes marble-and-brass wall panels and floor details. Metal thickness, movement, finishing and maintenance must be coordinated.

**Q: Can a large inlaid floor be supplied in sections?**

A: Yes. The composition can be divided into numbered modules mapped to a setting-out drawing for assembly and finishing by the site team.

**Q: Is inlay suitable for high-traffic floors?**

A: It can be when materials, piece size, depth, substrate, joints, finish and maintenance are designed for the traffic. The project designer and installer should approve the complete floor system.

### Garden stone — https://stonegraph.com/garden-stone.html

**Q: Can Stonegraph make a parasol base to a specific pole size?**

A: Yes. Provide the pole and fitting dimensions, desired footprint, required ballast, drainage needs and the parasol manufacturer's stability requirements.

**Q: Which stone is suitable for outdoor planters?**

A: The choice depends on climate, water exposure, wall thickness, size and finish. Suitable sandstones and marbles may be considered with correct drainage and installation.

**Q: Can garden pieces be made as a matching set?**

A: Yes. Profiles, motifs and dimensions can be coordinated across planters, bowls, stands, pillars and other landscape elements.

**Q: Can a single garden stone piece be exported?**

A: Yes. Stonegraph has no fixed minimum; freight practicality depends on the piece's size, weight and destination.

### Hotel stonework — https://stonegraph.com/hotel-stone-work.html

**Q: What hotel stonework can Stonegraph supply?**

A: Lobby murals, jali, pillars, arches, inlaid floors, sculpture, artifacts, tables, planters, garden pieces and other made-to-order architectural stone.

**Q: Can a finish sample be approved before production?**

A: Yes. Samples or mock-ups are recommended where stone range, lighting, relief, finish or repeated profiles are visually critical.

**Q: Can Stonegraph coordinate repeated rooms or facade bays?**

A: Yes. Digital geometry supports repeatability, while quality control and hand-finishing maintain the intended visible surface across units.

**Q: Does Stonegraph install in overseas hotels?**

A: No. Overseas projects use a supply-only model supported by numbered pieces and setting-out information for the main contractor's qualified installers.

### Stone carving in Jaipur — https://stonegraph.com/stone-carving-jaipur.html

**Q: Where is Stonegraph located in Jaipur?**

A: The factory address is I-83, ARG Industrial Park, Bagru, Ajmer Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan 303007. Arrange a visit in advance using the listed contact details.

**Q: What does the Jaipur workshop make?**

A: Bespoke murals, jali, mandirs, sacred panels, columns, sculpture, garden pieces, inlay and other architectural stone.

**Q: Can a project begin without visiting Jaipur?**

A: Yes. A CAD file, elevation, sketch or photograph can begin the conversation. Drawings, samples, work-stage photographs and video support remote approval.

**Q: Does Stonegraph supply outside Rajasthan?**

A: Yes. The workshop supplies across India and internationally, with numbered pieces and reinforced crating for larger assemblies.

### Stone exporter from India — https://stonegraph.com/stone-exporter-india.html

**Q: Which countries does Stonegraph supply?**

A: The site records supply to India, the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Malaysia, with other destinations considered according to the project and freight route.

**Q: Does Stonegraph install carved stone overseas?**

A: No. Overseas commissions use a supply-only model. The client's qualified local contractor handles unloading, foundations, fixings and installation.

**Q: How are multi-piece stone features identified?**

A: Pieces are numbered to a setting-out drawing after dry assembly, so the receiving team can identify their position and sequence.

**Q: Is there a minimum export order?**

A: No fixed minimum is stated. A single sculptural piece and large architectural packages are both possible; freight practicality depends on size, weight and destination.

### Design and delivery — https://stonegraph.com/getting-it-to-you.html

**Q: Do you install on site?**

A: Not abroad. We operate a supply-only model internationally: we handle design, carving, finishing and packing, and your local contractor installs. Every consignment ships with numbered pieces and a setting-out drawing so installation is straightforward. On Indian projects we can discuss supervision separately.

**Q: How is the stone protected in transit?**

A: Each piece is packed in reinforced, sea-worthy crating designed for the weight and the fragility of the carving — deep reliefs and open jali need different bracing. Consignments go through strict quality control before crating, and we photograph pieces packed and sealed.

**Q: Can you match a stone we have already specified?**

A: Usually. Send a sample or the quarry name and we will advise on match, on how that stone behaves under deep carving, and on whether it will hold the detail your drawing shows. Where a stone cannot carry the detail, we will say so rather than deliver a compromise.

**Q: What detail can CNC actually hold?**

A: Machining gives us repeatable geometry to the production tolerance agreed for the work — especially where a pattern repeats across a facade or a colonnade must align. The finest undercuts, organic flows and final surface are always done by hand afterwards, because tooling cannot reach or read them.

**Q: Is there a minimum order?**

A: No. We have shipped a single sculptural parasol base and we have shipped whole facades. What changes with scale is the lead time and the freight method, not the way the piece is made.

## Workshop journal (5)

### Why hand-carved stone artistry remains the ultimate luxury in a digital age

URL: https://stonegraph.com/journal/soul-of-the-chisel.html
Topic: Brand & heritage

In an era of mass production, the true essence of luxury is the human touch. Stone is a living canvas that carries the history of its maker — and in Jaipur, that history runs seven generations deep.

At Stonegraph we treat stone as a record of the decisions made by its carver. Based in Jaipur, the workshop continues a seventh-generation carving lineage in which tool control, relief depth and surface judgement are taught at the bench.

##### A legacy continued

The professional foundation of the present workshop was established in 1990 by Badri Prasad Kumawat through Kumawat Enterprises. Ravi Kumawat now leads Stonegraph, the export-focused studio created in 2018. The portfolio records carved stone supplied for hospitality, devotional and public projects, including work associated with The Oberoi properties, ISKCON Kharghar and Rajasthan landmarks.

##### What the hand contributes

Machining is useful for setting geometry, repeated profiles and the first controlled removal of material. Hand carving and finishing handle the transitions that determine how a relief reads: softened or crisp edges, undercuts, tool texture and the way light moves over the surface. Because those choices respond to the individual block and composition, two hand-finished pieces never read exactly like factory copies. Stonegraph uses both processes in sequence — digital control where repeatability matters, then experienced hands wherever the surface has to carry character.

### Sacred geometry: hand-painted ceilings and marble carving at ISKCON Kharghar

URL: https://stonegraph.com/journal/sacred-geometry.html
Topic: Sacred spaces

Spiritual architecture needs more than structural strength. It needs an emotional connection — which is why this project asked us to be masons and painters at once.

Stonegraph's work for ISKCON Kharghar in Navi Mumbai brought sacred fine art and monumental marble work into one coordinated project. The commission called for painted ceilings and carved stone to share the same geometry, scale and devotional intent rather than behave as unrelated finishes.

##### Hand-painted ceilings

The ceilings were conceived as celestial focal points. Their layered compositions required patient hand work and close coordination between the artists, the architectural setting and the sightlines from below. Colour, borders and central motifs had to remain legible at the finished height.

##### Marble that carries light

The marble work uses sacred geometry, carved profiles and hand-finished surfaces to control how the stone reflects light. The goal is not simply a polished surface: edge treatment and relief depth determine whether ornament reads clearly or disappears into glare. The same practical questions apply to a residential mandir and a larger institutional temple — deity and room dimensions, viewing height, joint placement, assembly sequence and access for installation all need to be resolved before carving begins.

### Crafting grandeur: our multi-decade collaboration with The Oberoi Group

URL: https://stonegraph.com/journal/oberoi-collaboration.html
Topic: Hospitality

The Oberoi name is shorthand for the gold standard in hospitality. Working across five of its properties has been an exercise in precision and artistic rigour in equal measure.

Stonegraph's portfolio records hand-finished architectural stone associated with The Oberoi Udaivilas, Rajvilas, Amarvilas, Vanyavilas and Sukhvilas. Across properties with different settings and architectural languages, the work required consistency at project scale without flattening the character of carved stone.

##### The hospitality vocabulary in stone

- **Stone jali screens** — pierced patterns finished to manage light, shadow and the view through the screen.
- **Pillars and columns** — repeated profiles coordinated across separate blocks so an assembled elevation reads continuously.
- **Inlay and artifacts** — smaller details whose material contrast and edge quality are most visible at close range.

Large hospitality packages combine repeated architectural elements with one-off artistic features. Drawings, samples and dry assembly establish the geometry; hand finishing then resolves the joins, foliage, arrises and surface character. That sequence allows a workshop to maintain coordination across many pieces while preserving the judgement expected in a carved feature made for a particular room or courtyard.

### The guardians of heritage: our role in Jaipur's modern landmarks

URL: https://stonegraph.com/journal/guardians-of-heritage.html
Topic: Public landmarks

Jaipur is a city built on stone. Two of our most visible contributions — Patrika Gate and Jawahar Kala Kendra — are now among its busiest cultural destinations.

Jaipur's contemporary public architecture still draws on the city's long relationship with carved stone. Stonegraph's portfolio includes work for Patrika Gate and Jawahar Kala Kendra, two projects that ask very different things of the material.

##### Patrika Gate — ornament at civic scale

The Patrika Gate celebrates Rajasthan's visual traditions through grand arches, decorative pillars and layered ornament. Stone carving at this scale has to work from a distance while retaining enough edge and relief definition to reward a closer view. Repeated elements also need to align across separate blocks and trades.

##### Jawahar Kala Kendra — geometry in stone

Jawahar Kala Kendra required a different response. Charles Correa's nine-square plan and geometric architectural language call for controlled profiles and disciplined junctions rather than dense ornament everywhere. Supplying bespoke stone elements for that setting meant matching the work to the building's modernist order. Together, the projects show two ways Jaipur's stone vocabulary continues in present-day public landmarks: one through exuberant ornament, the other through measured geometry.

### From Rajasthan to the world: the logistics of supplying hand-finished stone

URL: https://stonegraph.com/journal/global-standard.html
Topic: Export

How does a seven-generation legacy from Jaipur reach a penthouse in New York or a garden in London? Carefully, and in numbered crates.

Stonegraph's export-focused studio was established in 2018 to supply hand-finished stone from Jaipur to projects outside India. The workshop has supplied clients in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Malaysia using a design-and-supply model coordinated with local installation teams.

##### Outdoor pieces and architectural work

Export orders range from sculptural parasol bases and garden pieces to murals, jali, mandirs and other architectural assemblies. The stone, section thickness, centre of gravity and vulnerable carved edges determine how each piece must be handled and supported; there is no single crate design that suits every commission.

##### Preparing work for local installation

Larger assemblies are dry-fitted where appropriate, photographed for approval and marked before packing. Pieces are numbered to correspond with setting-out information, then protected in reinforced, sea-worthy crates designed around their weight and fragility. The client's qualified local contractor remains responsible for unloading, foundations and installation. Resolving joints, access and lifting constraints during the drawing stage is what lets a supply-only project arrive as an organised assembly rather than an unmarked shipment of stone.
