Jali work

A jali or jaali, is the term for a perforated stone or latticed


screen, usually with an ornamental pattern constructed
through the use of calligraphy and geometry. This form of
architectural decoration is common in Hindu temple
architecture

Early jali work was built by carving into stone, generally in


geometric patterns, while later the Mughals used very finely
carved plant-based designs.
