Taj Mahal Marble Replicas, Made in Agra

Most Taj Mahal souvenirs are resin, cast in bulk and painted white. Ours are cut from the same Makrana marble as the monument itself, by carvers working three miles from it, in a craft tradition their families have practised since it was built.

What that gets you

Weight and translucency, primarily. Real marble has heft and picks up light at its thin edges — the domes and minarets glow slightly against a lamp in a way painted resin simply cannot. The carving is done by hand, so the four minarets are near-identical rather than mechanically identical.

Sizes and use

Available from 6-inch desk pieces to larger display models. They work as travel keepsakes, gifts for anyone with a connection to India, and — for many customers — a memento of an actual visit that outlasts the photographs.
