Shree Rishabh Marmo Pvt. Ltd.

We are located over in Bedla, right on the road that goes toward Sapetia and Shikarbadi. It’s a bit of a trek from the main city, but it’s where all the stone work happens. We have these massive saws that run all day, cutting through huge blocks of marble like they’re nothing. The sound is pretty loud, a constant grinding that you get used to after a week or two. There is water everywhere because we have to keep the blades cool while they cut, so the ground is usually wet and a bit slippery. We spend a lot of time moving these giant slabs around with the overhead cranes. It’s a bit scary at first, seeing several tons of stone hanging in the air, but you learn how to handle it safely. My boots are always soaked by the end of the shift. We get a lot of people coming by to look at the different slabs, trying to find a pattern they like for their floors. We don’t have any fancy sales pitch; we just show them what we’ve got in the yard. Sometimes we have to move twenty slabs just to get to the one at the back of the pile. It’s heavy, tiring work, and the Udaipur sun doesn't make it any easier. But at the end of the day, seeing the cut stone all lined up feels okay. We just do the work as it comes and try to stay out of the heat.
