Carpet Weaving
 The
carpet weaving is a true expression of the workers' simple philosophy,
his sensitive perception of nature and its changing moods convincingly
translated into the craft. The color combinations are lovely and worksmanship exquisite. Carpet weaving came into prominence during the
Mughal era, when Akbar brought Persian weavers to India. The main
centres of carpet-making were Srinagar, Lahore, Amritsar, Sind, Multan,
and Allahabad.
The border was usually a broad
band separated from the centre and edged on the outer side by one or two
narrow bands filled with bold and conventional flower designs. Pastel
shades and a sparse use of geometrical and vegetable motifs are popular.
