Witness a live demonstration of marble inlay art, known as 'Pachchikari' or 'Parchinkari'. This art form was used on the walls and tombs of the Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Agra during the 17th century. It can also be found in other Mughal monuments in Agra, such as Agra Fort and Itimad-ud-Daulah's tomb. Additionally, it appears in the palaces of Delhi Fort, also constructed by Shah Jahan.
Semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, onyx, jasper, and carnelian were combined with various hues of marble to create designs of unsurpassed elegance. Mughal inlay art is a remarkable feature of Mughal architecture in India. It was an instrument of dynamic expression during the great age of the Mughal Empire, and Shah Jahan, the chief patron of this work, used the finest inlay craftsmanship in the Taj Mahal.
