Kota stone is a fine-grained limestone popular in India for flooring, especially in government buildings, due to its durability, non-porous nature, and aesthetic appeal. It is available in various colors and sizes, can be used indoors and outdoors, and is more affordable than marble and granite. However, it lacks the luster of more expensive stones and can flake over time if not maintained properly.
