India has always enjoyed the position of a world leader in granite exports. Adding unmatched style and elegance to the architecture, the glossy, smooth Indian granite has been extensively used stone material in building classic memorials across the globe Vietnam War Memorial and Bruce Lee Memorial in Washington DC, Atomic Bomb Victims Memorial at Hiroshima in Japan are a few monuments made of Indian granite.
Now, Indian granite, which has been mined from a quarry in Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka, has made it to Hayward 9/11 Memorial in the United States of America. Black and red granite was exported from Chamarajanagar to Hayward and has been used for the Hayward 9/11 Memorial adjacent to the historic Old City Hall building on Mission Boulevard, downtown Hayward.
