This rug was created in the Varanasi region of India, by the weavers in the Bhadohi village. The inspiration for this Persian rug design originated in Mahal, which is a province well known for its rug designs and colors. The rug weaving villages in Mahal are famous for their floral patterns. The weaving technique is hand-tufted, which is a rug-making process where weavers insert yarn into the rug backing with a handheld tufting gun to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. In a tufted rug, the tops of the loops are sheared to expose the ends of the threads for a softer, plusher pile. The knot count for these rugs is 150.
