Makrana marble is the legendary Indian white marble used to build the Taj Mahal. Quarried in Makrana, Rajasthan, it's known for its pure white colour with elegant grey and black vein-like patterns, exceptional durability and a naturally smooth, damage-resistant surface — the reasons it has been the marble of choice for monuments and premium interiors for centuries.
Makrana marble starts from ₹80 per sq ft and varies with grade, cut, finish and polish. Share your requirement for an exact quote with real slab photos.
India is home to the Taj Mahal — one of the wonders of the world — built from Makrana marble. This marble is famous for its pure white colour with elegant grey and black vein-like patterns. It's highly durable, damage-resistant and smooth, which is why it remains the preferred choice for monuments and structural applications. As a leading Makrana marble exporter, Shree Krishna Marble Group makes this premium stone accessible to customers around the world.
Makrana marble is also naturally heat-resistant, making it ideal for tropical regions — whether in homes, offices or other structures.
Makrana marble is mainly used in the following areas:
Widely used for flooring, wall cladding, tabletops, countertops, kitchen shelves and bathrooms. Its aesthetic appeal brings elegance and calm to living spaces, and it's equally suited to commercial properties like offices and hotels.
A preferred choice for monuments and sculptures thanks to its pure white colour and serene aura — often used in holy places and heritage sites.
Instead of white paint, Makrana marble is often used to add brightness to buildings. It's more durable, easier to clean and far more resistant to wear.
Its peaceful white colour makes it a common choice for cemetery markers and boundaries, symbolising tranquillity and remembrance.
Makrana marble is available in slabs and tiles and is cost-effective, with prices starting at approximately ₹80 per square foot and rising with finishing, cut and polish.
