Durgi Stone Carvings
The enduring beauty of Durgi stone carvings is owed to their creation from a soft variety of limestone that lies beneath the earth's surface, quarried with the help of machinery tools. These masterpieces have a rich history dating back to the 3rd century AD and are linked to the earliest Paleolithic civilizations, which thrived along the banks of the River Krishna. Artisans take great pleasure in fashioning a range of items, including statues of deities, flower vases, garden sculptures, Tulsi pots, and home decor collectibles, all through the medium of Durgi stone carving. Despite the allure of these unique art forms, artisans continue to struggle with challenges such as a lack of market access and limited awareness.
