Know more about the Art Form
Reflected in its stunning temple architecture, Sandalwood Carving is an art form that goes back centuries, with its origin in Uttar Pradesh. Later, the immensely talented artists used the skill to create small artefacts of daily use.
Rajasthan features different types of wood carvings. The most conspicuous of all is the sandalwood carvings. It can be seen in furniture items, decorative pieces, toys and household items.
