Handmade Hand-Knotted Carpets Of Kashmir

Kashmiri Carpet is known for its specialty of being handmade and similarly it is knotted and not tufted. The idea of carpets is nearly 1500 years old and it is not exactly known where and by whom the first Carpet was made. However in India Carpet weaving was first introduced in Kashmir in late 15th Century by King Budshah who brought artisans from Persia to train the people in Kashmir to spin and weave Carpets. Though the people of Kashmir were already introduced to weaving and spinning, the King insisted on them learning the technique from the Persians.
