The mandir was built in the Nagaradi style using 68,000 cubic feet of Italian Carrara marble. The marble obtained from quarries in Europe was shipped to Rajasthan, India where hundreds of artisans carved the stones.
Its how marble pieces in the market work ig. Agra had some fine pieces.
Stuff like Khajuraho or Konark just isn't made anymore. The whole school is dead. I wish handoos would sponsor some forming up again, it'd be costly but instead of spamming ugly temples everywhere it'd be great if we could start adorning the ones in actual use with sculptures like they used to be.

Huh that must've been a major commission, can't believe there's too many artisans here either.

They went with the old style sculpture overload lol. I wonder what they made them with, can't be stone sculptures that'd be insanely expensive today.

I doubt there's even physically enough sculptors left on Earth to replicate one of our medieval temples TBH.
The largest temple all over the world(in my state) is being funded by Ford lol.
