Soapstone is produced in several parts of the country which primarily includes UP, Rajasthan, Mysore and Tamil Nadu, but the sheer volume in which products are handcrafted out of soapstone in Agra makes it a class apart from anywhere else in the country. Majorly used to make religious idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, the soapstone gets a large crowd for replicas of Taj Mahal, one of the biggest tourist attractions in India and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Besides the monument, small boxes, plates, coasters, paperweights and photo frames made from soapstone are also very popular throughout the country and outside India.
