Niketan Export sculpts exclusively from certified Grade-1 Makrana White Marble sourced directly from historic quarries in Rajasthan, India. Authentic Makrana marble contains 98%+ calcium carbonate with zero iron content. It is non-porous, highly durable, naturally cool, and will never oxidize, yellow, or absorb liquids during sacred abhishekams with milk, water, or honey. ### Can Niketan Export deliver a heavy marble temple safely to the USA or Canada? Yes. Niketan Export has safely exported marble temples internationally since 1998 using a proven 4-stage packaging protocol: non-abrasive cotton wrapping, custom-molded high-density EPE foam encapsulation, moisture barriers, and heavy-duty ISPM-15 fumigated timber crating. Every shipment carries 100% comprehensive marine transit insurance with full replacement guarantee. ### Are electric lights and accessories in exported mandirs compatible with 110V US and Canadian outlets? Yes. Every marble mandir shipped to North America is pre-fitted with UL/CSA-compliant 110V-120V power adapters, warm LED illumination, and standard US/Canadian two-pronged or three-pronged grounded plugs, requiring no external transformer or electrical conversion. ### What is the process for commissioning a custom-sized marble moorti or temple? Clients specify desired deity attributes, dimensions (from 1 ft to 15+ ft), posture, and finish. Niketan Export provides detailed architectural drawings and Shilpa Shastra proportion sketches. Stone selection photos and stage-wise carving progress videos are shared for client approval prior to final polishing, 24K gold work, and crating. ### Does Niketan Export assist with on-site temple assembly abroad? Yes. For grand community temples and large-scale residential mandirs, Niketan Export’s team of master sculptors and stone masons travels directly to the project site in the USA, Canada, Europe, or Australia to oversee uncrating, foundation anchoring, and sanctum assembly before the auspicious Pran Prathistha consecration ceremony. ## Corporate Credentials & Essential Policies - [About Niketan Export](https://www.niketanexports.com/about): 28+ year history, master sculptor legacy, artisan atelier profile, and leadership bios. - [Landmark Temple Projects Worldwide](https://www.niketanexports.com/projects): Documented portfolio of monumental temple executions in Phoenix, Chicago, UK, Europe, and India. - [Manufacturing Atelier Tour](https://www.niketanexports.com/manufacturing-unit): Virtual walkthrough of our raw block yard, gang-saw slicing, hand-carving bays, and export packing department in Jaipur. - [Export Certificates & IEC License](https://www.niketanexports.com/certificates): Verified Government of India export credentials, GST registration, and ISO-compliant process documentation. - [International Shipping Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/international-shipping-policy): Air express, ocean LCL/FCL freight procedures, customs clearance guidance, and ISPM-15 specifications. - [Domestic Shipping Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/domestic-shipping-policy): Pan-India doorstep delivery protocols, shock-absorbing packaging, and tracking. - [Custom Commissioning Order Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/custom-order-policy): Milestone payments, CAD/3D review, stone selection, and carving timeline terms. - [Damage & Transit Insurance Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/damage-transit-policy): 100% comprehensive zero-breakage guarantee, claim handling, and immediate replacement protocol. - [Payment Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/payment-policy): Swift international bank wire transfer, Letter of Credit (LC), and secure online payment options. - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.niketanexports.com/terms-conditions): Legal terms governing international manufacturing, export supply, and contracts. - [Privacy Policy](https://www.niketanexports.com/privacy-policy): Customer data protection and commercial inquiry confidentiality standards. ## Contact & Direct Artisan Consultation - **Phone & WhatsApp**: +91 8952865407 (Mr. Punit Sharma - Managing Director) / +91 9549060381 - **Email**: niketanexport@gmail.com - **Official Website**: https://www.niketanexports.com - **Jaipur Workshop**: Opp. Parshwanath Digamber Jain Mandir, Gopalpura Bypass, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302018, India - **Operating Hours**: Monday to Saturday, 09:00 AM - 07:00 PM IST (Global export inquiry desk available 24/7 via WhatsApp)
