How we Started ?
Maclarg was founded with a vision to bridge the gap between history and modernity by preserving the essence of ancient architecture. Our journey began with a fascination for the lost engineering and scientific knowledge embedded in historical structures. We realized that while these monuments stand as symbols of cultural heritage, much of the ingenuity behind their construction has been forgotten. This realization inspired us to create detailed wooden miniatures of iconic structures, combining artistry with a quest for knowledge.
What We Do
At Maclarg, we craft 3D wooden replicas of significant heritage sites. Our notable creations include:
The Char Dham of Uttarakhand: Miniatures of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, showcasing the architectural beauty and spiritual significance of these sacred temples.
Shri Ram Mandir, Ayodhya: A replica that reflects the grandeur and cultural importance of this historic temple.
Each piece is not just a product but a means to honor and preserve the artistry and engineering brilliance of these structures.
Why We Do This
Our mission stems from a deep appreciation for history and a desire to uncover the scientific and engineering principles used by our ancestors. We believe that ancient structures hold valuable lessons about sustainability, craftsmanship, and innovation. By studying and replicating these monuments, we aim to:
- Document and preserve traditional architectural techniques.
- Inspire curiosity about the science and engineering of the past.
- Highlight the importance of cultural and historical preservation.
We are driven by the belief that understanding the past can help us build a better future.
How We Work
Our process involves extensive research and meticulous craftsmanship:
- Research: We study the design, architectural style, and historical context of each structure using texts, site visits, and expert consultations.
- Design: We translate our research into accurate and detailed blueprints.
- Craftsmanship: Skilled artisans bring these blueprints to life, ensuring every detail reflects the original structure.
This combination of research and craftsmanship allows us to create miniatures that are both beautiful and educational.
How We Earn
Maclarg sustains its operations through the sale of our handcrafted miniatures. Our products appeal to:
- Collectors and Enthusiasts: Individuals passionate about heritage and architecture.
- Cultural Institutions: Museums and organizations seeking to showcase historical replicas.
- Gifts and Memorabilia: Unique and meaningful pieces for special occasions.
Additionally, we collaborate with educational and cultural organizations, offering our creations as tools for learning and engagement.
