Why Rajasthan is the home of sandstone jali
Jali is part of Rajasthan’s skyline. Jaipur’s Hawa Mahal, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, has 953 small windows in red and pink sandstone. The latticework let royal women watch street festivals without being seen. It also let cool air pass through in summer. Today, builders use the same idea. A jali screen gives privacy, shade and airflow in one element, and it suits a hot, bright climate.
Which stone does a sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan use?
Rajasthan holds most of India’s sandstone, and each quarry belt gives a different stone. Litos, a stone trade publication, describes these clusters:
| Quarry belt | Typical colours | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Dholpur, Bharatpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur | Red, pink, cream | Comparatively soft, suited to stone craft |
| Jodhpur, Nagaur | Red, buff, beige, pink, white | Coarse to medium grain, strong and abrasion resistant |
| Kota, Jhalawar | White to buff, pale grey, red, cream | Fine grained and hard |
We work mainly with stone from the first belt, because its pink and red varieties carve cleanly. Our Bansi Paharpur sandstone guide explains how to tell the pink stone from Dholpur red.
Types of jali from a sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan
Our catalogue includes more than 100 CNC patterns on pink and red stone. Most fall into three families.
- Geometric and circular jali. Repeating circles, grids and stars give a clean, traditional look. Our decorative circular pattern jali starts at ₹400 to ₹600 per sq ft. It suits balconies, partitions, garden walls, hotels and temples.
- Religious and temple jali. Om and other sacred motifs suit mandirs and pooja rooms. For example, our 2 x 3 ft Om jali is listed at ₹1,500.
- Custom and floral jali. If you need a different size, pattern or finish, send us a sketch, a photo or a CAD file. We then check whether the design is strong enough in stone and suggest changes where needed.

Hand-carved or CNC jali: which should you choose?
Both methods work, and many projects use both. We cut the pattern on a CNC machine first, and then our carvers finish the edges and details by hand.
| Point | CNC cut | Hand carved |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | Very high, every panel matches | Small natural variations |
| Detail | Sharp, repeatable patterns | Deepest relief and finest detail |
| Time | Faster for many matching panels | Slower, piece by piece |
| Best for | Balconies, elevations, partitions | Temple work and statement pieces |
How to choose a jali for light, privacy and airflow
The pattern matters as much as the stone. Therefore, think about what you want the screen to do before you pick a design.
- Opening size. Larger openings pass more light and air. However, they give less privacy and show more of what is behind.
- Bridge width. The stone between two openings is the weakest part. Thin bridges look delicate, but they break more easily during transport and fixing.
- Sun direction. A west-facing balcony gets harsh afternoon light. A denser pattern cuts glare there, while a lighter pattern suits a north-facing wall.
- Indoor or outdoor. Outdoor jali needs sealing and drainage. Indoor jali has more freedom for fine patterns.
- Neighbouring surfaces. Hold the sample against your wall, floor and paint colour in daylight. Pink and red stone look different next to white and grey.

How a sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan works: enquiry to delivery
- Your requirement. Share the area, the use, a pattern photo or drawing, the quantity and your city.
- Stone and pattern. We suggest a stone and a pattern, and we share photos of similar finished work.
- Written quote. It lists the rate, thickness, quantity, packing, transport and GST on separate lines.
- Pattern approval. Once you confirm a sample or drawing, bulk cutting starts.
- Cutting and finishing. Slabs are cut to thickness, the CNC machine cuts the pattern, and our carvers finish by hand.
- Inspection and packing. Each panel gets a check and a number before packing.
- Dispatch and fixing guidance. We explain the fixing method to your mason before the panels arrive.
Lead time depends on the pattern and the quantity. For that reason, we confirm it in writing when we quote.
What to check when your jali arrives
A short check at unloading saves a long argument later. So follow these six steps:
- Count the panels against the packing list and the numbers on each piece.
- Look at every corner and thin bridge for cracks before the truck leaves, and photograph any damage.
- Measure a few panels for size and thickness against your order.
- Compare the colour of several panels outdoors in daylight.
- Dry-fit a few panels on the ground, so you can see the pattern line up before any mortar goes on.
- Keep one or two spare panels from the same lot for future repairs.
Where we deliver
As a sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan, we make jali in Dausa and deliver across the state, including Jaipur, Ajmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota, Bikaner, Alwar and Bharatpur. We also ship to Delhi NCR, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. For Madhya Pradesh buyers, our Bhopal delivery page explains what to plan for. Freight depends on the weight of the order and the distance. As a result, we quote it as a separate line, and you can compare it with any other supplier’s quote.
What does sandstone jali cost?
Cost depends on stone, thickness, pattern depth and quantity, so we do not publish one fixed rate. Two listed examples show the spread: the circular pattern jali at ₹400 to ₹600 per sq ft, and the 2 x 3 ft Om jali at ₹1,500 for the panel. Our price guide explains the factors and shows worked examples.
Why order from a sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan
- Direct from the workshop. You speak to the people who cut and carve your panels, not to a middleman.
- Stone close to the source. Eastern Rajasthan holds the quarry belts for pink and red sandstone.
- Clear quotes. We separate stone, packing, transport and GST, so you can compare like with like.
- Proof before you pay. We share photos of finished work, and you can see more on our past projects page.
We do not claim to be the number one manufacturer in India, because no official ranking exists. Instead, we suggest you compare two or three suppliers on samples, written quotes and finished work.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan?
No official ranking exists, so be careful with anyone who claims the top spot. Compare each sandstone jali manufacturer in Rajasthan on stone samples, finished projects, written quotes and the packing plan. Then shortlist two or three.
Where in Rajasthan is sandstone jali made?
Quarries in Dholpur, Bharatpur, Karauli and Sawai Madhopur supply red, pink and cream stone. Workshops in nearby towns, including Dausa, then cut and carve it. Meanwhile, Jodhpur and Kota supply other stones that suit different jobs.
Which sandstone is best for jali?
A fine, compact stone carves best. Both Bansi Paharpur pink and Dholpur red suit jali, so choose by colour and by how fine your pattern is.
Can you make jali from my own drawing?
Yes. Send a sketch, a photo or a CAD file with the size you need. We then review the pattern for strength and suggest changes where a bridge looks too thin.
Can I see a sample before I order?
Ask for a sample or photos of finished work. Approving the shade and pattern first avoids surprises once cutting begins.
Can sandstone jali stay outdoors in the monsoon?
Yes, because sandstone is a traditional outdoor stone, but you must fix and seal it properly. Good drainage also helps. Our price guide has a short section on fixing and care.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the area, the use, a pattern photo or drawing, your preferred stone colour and your delivery city. We will then reply with a written quote.
