A Kashmir Rug is a hand-knotted masterpiece which is intricately designed, primarily in oriental floral styles in rich colors and patterns. Inspired by the beauty of this heavenly vale, the artisans generally weave the culturally and traditionally significant motifs like the Chinar and Paisley into these handcrafted pieces of art. Most of these patterns are a reflection of the warmth, beauty and love that Kashmir stands for. The knots are generally in the form of a Chain Stitch which is locally popular by the name of Aari Kari or Aari Kaem, the crewel embroidery.
