Introduction – The Eternal Beauty of Marble
Marble is nature’s poetry etched in stone, a metamorphic rock formed from limestone under intense heat and pressure. Composed mainly of calcite with crystalline structures, it is admired for its shine, translucency, and unique veining. For millennia, marble has symbolized luxury, elegance, and timelessness.
From the ancient Parthenon in Greece to the Taj Mahal in India, and from Michelangelo’s David in Florence to modern-day luxury villas and hotels across the globe, marble has been the chosen stone of kings, architects, emperors, designers, and dreamers.
As Chairman of The Infinity Marble by Bhandari Marble Group Global, with 55 years of personal experience and a family legacy spanning 300+ years, I, DC Bhandari, present this complete guide to marble—covering its history, varieties, applications, price trends, and the unique role of Kishangarh: the Marble Kingdom of the World.
What is Marble? – Origin, History & Uses
Marble originates when limestone undergoes metamorphism under the Earth’s pressure and temperature, forming crystalline calcite. This transformation enhances its strength, durability, and beauty.
Historical Significance of Marble
- Ancient Greece & Rome: Marble was the foundation of temples, amphitheaters, and statues. The Parthenon and Pantheon stand as symbols of marble’s glory.
- India: The Taj Mahal in Agra, clad in Makrana White Marble, remains the world’s most iconic marble monument.
- Italy: Artists like Michelangelo transformed Carrara marble into world-famous sculptures.
- Middle East & Europe: Palaces, mosques, and cathedrals glorified with marble reflect its status as a divine stone.
Modern-Day Uses of Marble
Marble is no longer confined to monuments. Today, it is an essential material for:
- Flooring & Wall Cladding – Luxurious interiors of villas, hotels, and offices.
- Countertops & Vanities – Kitchen islands, bathrooms, and hospitality projects.
- Sculptures & Monuments – Modern designers continue ancient traditions.
- Furniture & Decor – Tables, staircases, fountains, and luxury details.
Marble is not just a construction material—it is a heritage, lifestyle, and investment in timeless beauty.
