SHIKARGAH - SCROLLING JUNGLES & ANIMAL STORIES
Identified by its hunting scenes, the Shikargah is the epitome of weaves from Banaras with its dynamic, woven, animal and bird motifs in scrolling jungle scenes. With an influx of Persian weavers from Central Asia and the Iranian Plateau into India this weave gained popularity in Banaras. The story of these animal figurines in delicately spun textiles speak of the artistic amalgam between Persian culture and Indian craftsmanship. Our Shikargahs in pure kadhwa take anywhere between six to nine months to weave and is the ultimate collectible. A must for every heirloom.
