A wonderful place to buy hand made carpets. My wife and I visited this shop while on a tour in Agra. They did a very good job of introducing us to hand woven carpets made in the area. Prices are high and based upon material, pattern complexity and knot density. Prices are negotiable. The carpets are absolutely beautiful. They do a good job of packaging your purchase for shipment or carrying home.

Really fun to learn about the amazing craft of carpet making! When the tour guide took us to the carpet manufacturing building, I was in heaven, watching the artists work on the carpets, from the materials, to the designs, to the skills to complete the carpet is so time consuming. The quality is amazing.Indeed you will want one of these carpets, and as tourist, there was no way to actually send this home, affordably, but when the very nice salesman said that the government actually pays for it. I was very skeptical and then did not want to buy one, I felt like this was a scam, since you have to be very careful anywhere when traveling. But, we took our chances and it arrived yesterday in perfect condition! the carpet is beautiful! You won't be disappointed!Thank you so much!
