Amritsar, located in the northwest of India near the Kashmir region, is known for its carpet weaving traditions. These carpets often feature floral and geometric patterns, and their craftsmanship is influenced by both Persian and Mughal designs. Amritsar rugs, which emerged in the 19th century, are valued for their colors and fine wool, as well as their detailed knotting techniques.
