A carved groove traces its edge. Within it, a fine line of brass is set into the stone and polished until it catches the light. At the centre sits a crimson lotus with its stem, leaves and two closed buds. Each piece of [semi-precious stone] is cut, shaped and fitted into the marble by hand. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is \u003cem\u003eparchin kari\u003c\/em\u003e, the same inlay craft that adorns the Taj Mahal, passed down through generations of artisan families in Agra.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUse it to serve mithai at Diwali or to hold diyas and flowers for puja.
