Story Behind the Art :For centuries, Tibetan artisans have woven rugs combining functionality with elaborate decorative motifs, drawing from auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, geometric patterns, and natural imagery. Following the 1959 diaspora, rug weaving expanded across Nepal and India, leading to a commercial revival. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs achieved international recognition, supported by Nepalese artisans trained alongside Tibetan refugees. Characterized by the unique Tibetan knot or slit-loop technique, these rugs offer exceptional pile depth, texture, and softness. Designs today span traditional reimaginations—such as snow lions and branching florals—to modern, free-form compositions that integrate heritage with contemporary sensibilities.
