Tilak Marbles Guides Designers: Choosing Between Indian and Imported Marble
Kishangarh, 27th October, 2025: For architects balancing heritage aesthetics with contemporary luxury, the choice often narrows to two options: Indian marble or imported stone. Each carries its own visual language, practical demands, and design statement. Tilak Marbles, a Kishangarh-based leader in premium natural stones for over three decades, helps designers navigate these choices with expertise built on experience and craftsmanship.
Indian Marble: Heritage, Durability, and Subtle Elegance
Indian marble varieties such as Makrana, Rajasthan White, and Ambaji have shaped interiors for centuries, enduring in historic monuments and modern luxury homes alike. Today, their original quality is rare to find which is why alternatives like Banswara White and Pigus White have become prized choices.
Their understated veining, soft tonal palettes, and enduring strength make them ideal for both residential and commercial projects.
In one heritage-inspired home in Jaipur, Tilak Marbles recommended Pigus White for the bedroom floors. The client observed how the stone softened the morning light, paired seamlessly with wooden furnishings, and concealed daily wear without compromising on elegance.
“Indian marble carries a history of craftsmanship and resilience,” says Mr. Praveen Gangwal, founder of Tilak Marbles. “It has a quiet presence. From restored havelis to contemporary urban homes, its personality anchors a space with confidence.”
Imported Marble: Bold, Rare, and Distinctive
Imported marbles — from Italian Lasa White and Portuguese Michelangelo to Turkish Bulgari Beige are known for their bold veining, rare colors, and exclusivity. They often serve as the centerpiece of premium residences, boutique hotels, and luxury offices, giving spaces a distinctive, bespoke character.
Where Indian marble offers subtlety and heritage, imported stones bring drama and rarity making them a favorite for feature walls, grand lobbies, and statement dining tables.
