And even if I fancy the one you cant take won't take his name , it is definitely not because of the colour of his skin. He has 1001 other attributes that are enough to do the job.😎

After all, isn't a tall, dark , handsome stranger that makes a gal have an eye on him?

The Mughal jail carpets

The world renowned Mughal jail carpets, possibly the most expensive carpets in world at present, originated from the Mughal empire under the patronage of one of the greatest mughal emperors, Akbar.

Emperor Akbar, who was illiterate himself was a great propagator of the arts and culture. It was when it was brought to the notice of the emperor that the prisoners used to create a lot of ruckus in the jails that he decided to

reform them. Between 1520-30's he brought some of the finest weavers of carpets from the most well known carpet workshops of Persia to teach the jail birds, the art of weaving carpets.

These jail birds took a lot of pride in their work and they eventually outshone their masters. These carpets were made for the palaces in India and some were also sent abroad in the form of gifts. Since there was no shortage of money, labour or a time constraint, it could take a few hundred

weavers up to 15 years to make a single carpet.

They used the finest wools, velvets, silks and sometimes even Pashmina' (Cashmere) which is considered to be one of the most exotic fibres for weaving shawls for making these carpet. The dyes were all natural dyes/vegetable dyes extracted out of plants, rocks, minerals, insects etc.

These designs were rare and quite different from the traditional Persian , Turkish and Central Asian carpets and a lot of these designs were original Indian patterns prior to the Mughal influence. The most famous jails for carpets were Agra Jail, Lahore Jail, Amritsar Jail, Jaipur jail, Gwalior jail and Bikaner jail.

Wow! From prisons to palaces, what an incredible journey for the Mughal jail carpets!

Akbar again showed the greatness of his forward thinking in this carpet-making venture.

If he achieved so much being an illiterate, one can only wonder what he would have accomplished had he been literate.

Thank you, Lashy Sahiba- enjoyed reading the article a lot.🤗
