Pietra Dura
// May 03, 2003 (more •)The famed Pietra Dura style of marble work. Made famous by extensive use at Taj Mahal and almost all Mughal monuments, the style has been taken to a higher level at Radhaswami Temple. This involves engraving the design in marble and filling the troughs with finely cut coloured precious or semi-precious stones. The real beauty is seen only by the naked eye. A photo cannot do justice to it.
