In Mirzapur, India’s oldest carpet weaving hub, generation after generation is trained to become gifted weavers. The Mirzapur Dari Weavers’ Co-operative Society sells the handwoven carpets in Delhi’s Dastkaar Nature Bazaar.
In the large shop, carpets hang from the walls and are piled on the floor. They are available in a range of sizes, 10 feet by 14 feet being the largest and 2 feet by 3 feet being the smallest.
The carpets are made of wool and the base is of cotton. Even a medium-sized carpet of 3 feet by 5 feet takes nearly 15. . .
