Why is Indian Granite Most Popular Worldwide?

Granite is a form of igneous rock that is massively used for construction and infrastructure purposes. Owing to its aesthetic appearance, hardness and durability; granite has managed to surpass marbles and other natural stones, making it a widespread construction stone throughout human history.

Granite is recognized for its extensive usage in everyday life. It is used as kitchen countertops, in bathrooms, shelves, basins. It is also used for flooring and tilling, road making, jewellery making, constructing temples, gravestones or monuments, etc.

Despite granite’s global availability, Indian Granite is available in a wide range of colours, giving the architecture an unmatched sense of style and elegance.
