Kashmiri carpets to adorn the new Parliament House, artisans feel happy
Traditional Kashmiri carpets will soon be laid on the floors of the new House of Parliament, which is currently under construction, in New Delhi.
Kashmir Carpets and Kani Shawls are known for their exquisite designs and intricate workmanship. Over the period of time, world-class masterpieces have been created particularly during the Mughal-Afghan and Sikh-Dogra period, reports ANI.
Qamar Ali Khan of Tahiri Carpet received an order from a Delhi-based company to manufacture 12 traditional Kashmiri silk carpets of 8x11 feet size.
Fifty artisans and craftsmen including men and women are working day and night to complete the project.
"We are beyond happy that this carpet will be on the floor of a venue where elected representatives from all over India will come and see the traditional handicrafts of Kashmir," Khan told ANI
"Traditional Kashmiri handicrafts, including carpets, have declined over the past several years due to low demand in the world but hopefully now it will regain recognition not only in India but across the world," Khan added.
