Agra is known for its beautiful marble carvings. It is not easy to chisel and design on marble.

Everywhere you see a lot of inlay work as well done in marble.

I was enamored when I saw some amazing pieces of work. I could not take my eyes away from the captivating sight of the marble elephant as soon as I entered the hotel. This indeed was a masterpiece.

So many female poses were portrayed on the elephant. I observed a Goddess laying down, another standing, a sitting lady, and many other poses.

This was one of the most elegant and captivating pieces of work that I have seen. I thought I must show this so more and more people could enjoy the beauty of marble work.

The second photo is of the intricate elephants and designs on a beautiful marble sideboard. The two little elephants and multiple small and big artwork were fitted on a marble stand. It was so intricately designed.
