Pakistani Rug
The weaving culture of the region that is now Pakistan dates back thousands of years.
A weaving tradition is said to have existed since the Indus civilization, and the land is considered a region where weaving culture took root long ago.
Northern Pakistan had deep ties with Persia and developed under the influence of Greek and Buddhist civilizations.
Later, rug production spread under the influence of Islamic culture, and Lahore is said to have become the center of rug production in the Mughal era.
Lahore has been known as a city of rugs ever since Persian rug patterns were adopted there in the Mughal era.
