Carpet weaving remained a family occupation, on the same caste lines as other forms of economic activity at the time. The Jaipur palaces also housed some of the world’s finest Persian and Mughal carpets, providing further models for the craftsmen. Although the weaving of pile carpets was introduced in India only in the Mughal period, it soon took root and became part of the Indian heritage. Carpets became so indispensable that they were even woven in special shapes and sizes for the royal tents. One such carpet, of irregular shape, is on display at the City Palace Museum in Jaipur. The weave (3,60,000 knots per square metre) indicates that it was made to withstand rough use. Palace records reveal that it was bought in Lahore in 1656 by Maharaja Mirza Raja Jai Singh I.
Floral designs remain very popular in Rajasthani carpets, as do animal and bird motifs. The favorite colors are pink, maroon, yellow, green, blue, ivory and turquoise. Although Jaipur and Bikaner are the traditional centres of carpet weving in Rajasthan, the art has recently take root in Sikar, Tonk, Barmar, and Churu.

• "Great seller! Perfect shipping, very fast. Arrived before estimate. Thankyou!"

• Item came in a timely manner. Appears to be well made, but was dusty on the edges. Appreciate the time you took to package nicely and the free shipping. Other yoga mats shown in Amazon looked great too, but pricing for many beyond my range of affordabilty (almost $100.00). If durable for yoga, etc., perhaps the price is justified. We'll see. Thanks again."

• "A pleasant surprise! Ordered on a Tuesday and received on Friday of the same week, with regular shipping, from India to Massachusetts. A beautiful tablecloth with napkins. One note, though, is that the product description did not say how many napkins there would be. There were 8, which was great, but the description should be more specific."
