Selected historical quarries of India: an account

Seven Indian stones, including Alwar Quartzite used in the Qutb Minar complex, have been recognized as 'IUGS Heritage Stones' for their significance in shaping India's monumental architectural heritage. These stones, sourced from historical quarries across the subcontinent, reflect centuries of craftsmanship and cultural evolution. The study highlights the importance of preserving both these stones and their quarries to support restoration efforts and understand changing quarrying practices over time.
