Dialogues in stone Conversation in stone is what Nirankar Sandstone has been creating for decades. The vision of Saryaram Saini, the workshop specialises in creating a wide array of artefacts reminiscent of the craftsmanship of Rajas and Maharajas. Now led by the expertise of Naresh Saini, the sculptors and artists of Nirankar work together primarily with sandstone sourced directly from nature in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Various sandstones are prized for their unique textures and colours, allowing intricate carvings and detailing to create pillars, columns, fountains, panels, lamp posts, gazebos, garden ornaments, planters, pots and human forms. The family legacy of dedication to craftsmanship is carried forward through generations as they contribute to Rajasthan's rich tapestry of creative expression. By harnessing the inherent qualities of natural sandstone, the hues and tones of whites, reds, pinks, yellows, greys, blacks, silvers, and the rare rainbow shades evoke the rugged landscapes of Rajasthan.

What sets Nirankar Sandstone apart is that despite modern machines and technology, most of their works are hand-made, and there is no compromise on the original designs and craftsmanship. Every job is exclusive, be it the mother and child series, the dancers in motion, Buddha, floral pots, and deities, with attention to detail given to feel, touch, contours and finishing. From homes to monumental projects like the Lucknow High Court, Lucknow Lok Sabha, and the Kanshi Ram Smarak, their expertise and craftsmanship can be viewed in the Vindhyachal corridor in Mirzapur. Each work speaks to the viewer, with the sculptor infusing life in stone and expressing myriad emotions, feelings and expressions.The craftspeople, both men and women, with years of experience, strive to craft single pieces of exceptional quality that showcase the true essence of Rajasthani craftsmanship.
