Jodhpur sandstone because of its strength, resistance to abrasion and aesthetic looks is one of the best sandstones of the world. Though sandstones of other regions such as Karauli, Dholpur,Banshi Paharpur and Bijolia are of the best quality Jodhpur sandstone stands almost at par as far as its chemical and physical properties are concerned.
