Arti Marble & Handicrafts

You can find Arti Marble & Handicrafts at B-79 in Indira Bazar. We are specifically located on Khajnaewalo Ka Rasta, right at the second crossing. It’s an interesting spot because we are actually below the Badri Nath Temple. You can often hear the bells ringing upstairs while we are down here working with the stone and the crafts. The street is quite narrow and always filled with the smell of incense and the sound of people walking by to the temple. Our shop is filled with various marble items and small handicrafts that we’ve collected or made. There is always a layer of white dust on everything because that’s just how it is when you work with stone. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside, but we manage to fit quite a lot on the shelves. Sometimes we sit on the stools near the entrance just to catch a bit of a breeze. People stop in after visiting the temple to look at the carvings or just to escape the sun for a minute. The second crossing is a busy junction, so there’s never a quiet moment. We’ve been in this basement-level space for years, and it stays relatively cool even when the Jaipur heat is at its worst. It’s a simple life, moving heavy things around and talking to the people who wander in from the street.
