Wow! Indian vernacular architecture will never cease to amaze me! Your country certainly has a distinctive architectural style that encompasses its unique history and culture. What specific types of marble, sandstone, bricks, and wood are typically common locally, and what construction processes there have been worthy of being considered vernacular @praditya?

Hello @storiesoferne thank you for appreciating the country's beautiful architecture. I am glad you liked it. Anyways the specific designs like the carvings and ceiling's patterns were painted in typical Rajasthani style. for example-
Such patterns are found on fabric as well which are designed there.
I can list so much more when it comes to what's specific to the area. Even the gates had white marble tarazu where king used to sit and equivalent to his weight gold, diamonds and ornaments were kept and those were distributed among the people on several occasions. The white marble also granites were used which were locally produced including rest of materials. when comes the construction techniques considering it was built 400 years ago , certainly man made labour with local equipment might have come handy.
Thanks again for your keen interest and hope you're staying healthy!
Excellent feedback! I always get excited whenever I learn something new about Indian architecture. Keep them coming!
