THE RUGMAN

Born and raised in Srinagar Kashmir (north Indian Himalayan State). I still remember the day when I completed my college and my father asked about my future plans. Rugs & weaving was my family business so I definitely was attracted to the subject. Learning basics of rugs and weaving from my family source, I read a variety of literature about the difference between workshop rugs and family or tribal rugs. Reading about the nomads of Central Asia and their weaving really fascinated me and helped me to choose the subject as my vocation.
