The stone of India’s greatest monuments. Maheshwari Impex brings Bangalore’s finest collection of natural sandstone — sourced from Rajasthan’s legendary quarries — for wall cladding, flooring, garden paving, and exterior architecture.
Composed of sand-sized mineral grains — primarily quartz — cemented together by silica, calcium, or iron oxides. It is one of India’s most historically significant building stones — used in the construction of Humayun’s Tomb, Fatehpur Sikri, Jodhpur Fort, and Jaipur’s Hawa Mahal. Sandstone is warm-toned (honey, buff, pink, terracotta), workable for carving, and highly suited to both interior and exterior applications. Sandstone prices in Bangalore start from ₹45–₹90 per sq ft for standard varieties.
The most popular sandstone in Bangalore’s contemporary market. A warm honey-brown to deep teak-toned sandstone with natural linear grain patterns that closely mimic the appearance of teak wood. Used extensively for exterior wall cladding, compound walls, garden features, and interior feature walls.
A light cream to mint-white sandstone — the palest of Indian sandstones. Clean and serene in character. Used for contemporary interior wall cladding, hotel lobbies, and light-toned feature walls where a natural stone aesthetic is wanted without the warmth of honey-toned varieties.
The historic pink sandstone of Rajasthan — the same stone used in the construction of many of India’s most iconic monuments. Deep rose-pink to salmon tones. A distinctive, culturally rich stone that creates extraordinary feature walls, courtyard surfaces, and architectural statements.
The golden sandstone of the Thar Desert — Jaisalmer sandstone — has a warm saffron-yellow to golden-buff colour that glows in sunlight. One of India’s most visually dramatic natural stones. Popular for exterior cladding on Bangalore villas seeking a warm, desert-palace aesthetic.
A multi-toned sandstone with layers of orange, red, yellow, brown, and grey flowing through the stone. Each slab is dramatically unique. Used for artistic feature walls, landscape features, and distinctive statement applications.
A subtle, contemporary grey-toned sandstone for modern interiors and exteriors. Works beautifully with Bangalore’s contemporary villa architecture — particularly for compound walls and feature surfaces in all-grey or mixed-material facades.
Sandstone is among the most impactful exterior cladding materials available. Teak wood and yellow Jaisalmer sandstone on a Bangalore villa facade creates a warm, prestigious appearance with strong architectural character. The stone’s natural texture deepens with age, acquiring an authentic patina over Bangalore’s monsoons and dry seasons.
Sandstone cladding on compound walls is one of the most popular exterior stone applications across Bangalore’s independent houses and gated communities. Cost-effective per square foot and dramatically more attractive than plain plaster finishes. All-in installed cost for exterior cladding: ₹180–₹350 per sq ft (simple sandstone, direct bond)
Natural riven sandstone paving tiles are ideal for Bangalore garden paths, courtyard surfaces, and outdoor dining areas. Their natural colour and texture integrate beautifully with planted gardens, and the riven surface provides excellent grip.
Sandstone feature walls in Bangalore’s living rooms, restaurant interiors, and hotel lobbies create a warm, earthy character that ceramic tiles cannot replicate. Teak wood sandstone is particularly popular as a TV backdrop wall material.
Sandstone’s workability makes it the preferred stone for jali screens, carved panels, decorative fountains, garden sculptures, and architectural ornament — an area of traditional Indian craftsmanship experiencing a strong revival in Bangalore’s luxury residential market.
Sandstone is a natural sedimentary rock composed primarily of quartz sand grains. The most popular varieties available in Bangalore are Teak Wood sandstone, Jaisalmer yellow, Pink Dholpur sandstone, Mint white, Rainbow multicolour, Chocolate Brown, and Grey sandstone — all primarily sourced from Rajasthan.
Sandstone material prices in Bangalore range from ₹45–₹90 per sq ft for basic grey riven sandstone to ₹150–₹250 per sq ft for premium Rainbow and specialty varieties. Exterior wall cladding installed costs range from ₹180–₹550 per sq ft all-in depending on stone type, substrate preparation, and fixing method. Contact Maheshwari Impex for a project quote.
Yes. Sandstone — particularly natural riven varieties — performs very well outdoors in Bangalore’s climate. It handles monsoon rainfall, UV exposure, and temperature cycling effectively. Sealing before installation and before each monsoon season maximises longevity and prevents algae growth.
Yes — sandstone is India’s most workable natural stone for hand carving. Jali screens, decorative panels, fountain features, garden sculptures, and architectural ornament are all traditionally crafted in sandstone. Maheshwari Impex can source carved sandstone elements for Bangalore’s heritage and luxury residential projects.
Seal sandstone with a penetrating stone sealant before installation. Re-seal annually, especially before the monsoon season. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic cleaners. Pressure-wash outdoor sandstone surfaces annually to remove algae and moss deposits from the monsoon season.
Both are sedimentary rocks, but sandstone is composed primarily of quartz sand grains while limestone is composed of calcium carbonate. Sandstone is generally more acid-resistant and harder than limestone. Limestone tends to have a finer, more even texture; sandstone often shows visible grain patterns. Both are widely used for flooring and cladding in Bangalore.
