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 their rug designs and colors. The rug weaving villages in Mahal are famous for their floral patterns. A tufting gun is used to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. The tops of the loops are sheared to expose the ends of the threads for a softer, plusher pile
