Royal Roots

If you have seen the Presidential Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan) in New Delhi, you have seen Dholpur Beige Sandstone. Quarried in Rajasthan, this stone has stood the test of time for over a century.

Modern Applications

Today, architects use Dholpur Beige for:

  • Exterior Cladding: It is breathable and keeps buildings cool in hot climates.
  • Pool Coping: It provides a soft, sandy texture that is non-slip but gentle on bare feet.
  • Carving (Jali): It is soft enough to be CNC carved into intricate lattice screens for privacy walls.

It creates a uniform, monolithic beige look that exudes understated luxury.
