Agra Red Stone is currently used in a variety of projects such as roofing, paving, flooring, panelling, and the building of beams, doors, pillars, and window sills. Bricks in lime mortar with red sandstone and marble veneers and precious/semi-precious stone inlay work make up the structure. The
Red Agra Stone was used as the palace fort of Shahjahanabad, the new capital of India's fifth Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan. Named because of its huge
Agra Red Sandstone surrounding walls. In contrast to the marble monument in the centre, the mosque and guest house in the area known as the Taj Mahal have been constructed of red sandstone.
Types Of Sandstone are typically categorized as either arenites or wackes, the two basic forms of sandstone. Based on their compositional framework and matrix, arenites and wackes can both be distinguished from one another. The quantity of matrix material varies as well. Sandstone has been utilised as a building material for several temples, residences, churches, and even statues due to its grain structure, regularity, and hardness. It is very simple to work with and carve.
