Knotted stitch carpets were already made there in the fifteenth century. Today, the production of tightly knotted carpets with good quality wool is important here. Often, these are carpets inspired by the patterns and designs of high-end and very solid Persian rugs. It is believed that the art of carpet making was introduced to India by the Great Mughal Akbar (1556-1605) who brought to his own palace Persian weavers and talented artists specializing in carpet-making patterns. During the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, carpets of great beauty were made in India from sheep's wool and the finest silks using the Persian nud. However, from the nineteenth century until the 1940s, quality dropped considerably, except for low production in the cities of Srinagar, Amritsar and Agra. After India's independence in 1947, commercial manufacturing made a new start. Although most of the carpet weavers had fled to Pakistan, production was quickly revived thanks to efforts to train young men and women.
