Jharokhas were originally crafted as overhanging balcony windows or grand entryways for havelis, palaces, and temples — meant to be seen from below and admired for their intricate stonework or woodwork. This piece captures that legacy in a beautifully weathered, salvage-grade doorway.

The arch is framed with dense, hand-chiseled carving — florals, geometric borders, and traditional Indian motifs worked into every surface. Decades of age have given the piece a soft, time-worn patina, with natural distressing, tonal variation, and texture that can't be replicated in reproduction pieces. Every mark tells part of its history.
