Parchin Kari also known as Pacchikari in recent times, is a method of inlaying colored marbles or semi-precious stones into a stone base, often in geometric or flower patterns. The inspiration for the craft is the beautiful Pietra Dura work done in the Taj Mahal and the tomb of Itimad-ud- Daulah. The art of marble inlay or “Parchin Kari” was introduced in India in the 17th century by the great Mughal Emperor “Shah Jahan” who envisioned the decoration of the Taj Mahal using this unique decorative art. The inlay is so fine that the inlaid patterns seem to have grown out of the marble, hence it is hardly possible to detect the incisions.

The traditional art of Marble Inlay is quite exquisite because of the long and detailed process which requires great artistry, patience and precision. Marble Inlay can be used for various Indoor and outdoor purposes because marble is strong, durable, elegant and can withstand high temperatures.
