There is a really obvious set of customers for this work: they can do monograms, crests, mascot statues, and logos. Schools, banks, law offices, hotels, fashion houses (especially jewelry designers and leather designers), and furniture or hardware stores, if it was easier to purchase. If they had a website it could have a widget for uploading a custom design to add to a standard product (napkin ring, knife handle, pen, soap dish, statuette, picture frame/stand, etc). It could also easily have an auction feature for unique or limited edition items. Anyways, saving this because I know of at least one fashion designer who would definitely be interested.

Visited Taj Mahal 3 weeks ago and I’m still fascinated by the experience I had. It’s so stunning with all the details and craftsmanship of the masterpiece I was in awe. Truly one of a kind. I got pieces of the marble art from my friend whose family business is marble inlay in Agra. Indeed the artistry and effort they put on their work is amazing. Sad that they sell it cheap compared to the time and hard work they put to every piece they make.

Value and purchasing power of currency varies, and more importantly, is relative. $480 (40k INR) is more than the average Indian monthly salary to put it in perspective. Only Indians on the fairly wealthy end of the spectrum can justify that price, it would be like you spending 5k on a table.

You know what breaks my heart the most is that I learn of these incredibly hard working beautiful crafts through the efforts of people that don't live here, rather than by the people that do live here. We are so used to the beauties that are offered to our eyes that we don't think for a second how much hard work and creativity and talent it took too many nameless people too much time to reach our eyes, and only when someone from the outside ventures just a little beyond the beauty of the craft to see the talent of the people that we realize, and wonder why weren't we the ones who thought to see a little deeper and just appreciate, rather than just look and ignore.

Even worse is the use of malachite. It’s perfectly safe to touch, but EXTREMELY toxic for artisans to cut and shape. Normally you would be wearing gloves, goggles, and breathing protection to cut or grind it and making very sure the slurry of water and powder is correctly disposed of.

Unsurprisingly, the video forgot to talk about all the obliteration by the British during their centuries of invasion. They essentially ravaged various monuments of India, including the Taj Mahal in the way that they barbarically pierced the precious gemstones and diamonds once inlayed by such artisans. Our parents tell us stories passed down over generations about the unreal luminescence of the Taj Mahal on a full moon light, when the diamonds glimmered in the moon light, that is until they flagrantly abscounded with all of it.

I have visited the Taj Mahal and it is a wonder to see. The use of multi-coloured agates, with matching petals of flowers split and inserted, is an on site work. There are hundreds of thousands of them on the walls and ceiling. There is a tomb of Shah Jahan's wife below ground level, which is not on public display. By the looks of the stairs going down, there must be more wonders to see.

99% of the documentary talks about the backbreaking, eyesight destroying, hand numbing work, then the last 1% laments the lost art because younger generations choose different careers. Can you really blame the younger generation for choosing other careers over this ancient artform as a career? Sometimes it's best to just appreciate the past while adapting to the future.

40,000 Rs. Is really less price for that table considering the craftsmanship ,detailing and hardwork it required.. they definitely need to get it sold at higher price. In malls a simple dining table which is made up of wood / glass / steel cost nearly about 30,000 Rs. at starting price.
