Origins of the Art: The tradition of crafting hand-knotted rugs, now flourishing as Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small industry, can be traced back to the 11th century during the Mughal rule. Master craftsmen showcase their artistry by producing a variety of rug styles, incorporating beloved motifs like guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), intricate traceries, and geometric patterns arranged in captivating combinations.
