Description
About the Craft & Artisans :: The heart of Dhurrie weaving lies in the centre of Mirzapur in Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh, known to bring high quality hand-knotted carpets with nearly 400 knots per square inch! The carpet weaving centers across Varanasi and Bhadohi were set up by a Persian master weaver in the 17th century. The beautiful yet strenuous process comprises several steps, including dyeing, designing and weaving, thus embodying various skill sets in one product. These carpets were mostly based on the Persian designs but due to changing times now, modern patterned carpets are also manufactured.
Amit Baranwal learned the art of making carpets and Dhurries from his father, Mr. Gopinath Baranwal, who was a renowned carpet maker. Amit grew up watching weavers make them and started making carpets patterns when he was young.
Now, Amit leads a team of 80 skilled weavers, keeping the tradition alive while also adding new ideas. Amit was honored with the prestigious 1st position of the Sant Kabir Award for Dhurrie designing by the U.P. Government in 2020.
