Carpet “Kaleen of Kashmir” by Ahanger HOBO.

Visit Rainawari, Fateh Kadal, Nawab Bazaar, Nawa Kadal Carpet weaving can be traced to the time of beloved Emperor and patron of the arts, Emperor Zain-Ul-Abidin. Although it is derived from the world renowened Persian carpet tradition, in kashmir the artisians have once again been influenced by the colour and form of their own Kashmir Valley and form of their own Kashmir Valley and created a new style of motfis and representative coloured dyes.

Kaleen “carpets” are intricately hand knotted silk or woolen carpets woven on a vertical loom through a process of wrapping a supplementary weft around successive wraps, creating a heavy durable fabric with a soft pile surface of short lengths of fine wool or silk.

The art of Kaleen (pile carpet) is said to have attained perfection in the valley of Kashmir; they are stunning and some are even considered priceless.
