The Mirzapur Handmade Durrie is one among a multitude of styles of floor coverings. They are defined essentially by the use of the “Panja” for weaving, and are also known for their fairly bold colours and patterns. Mirzapur Handmade Durries are woven in a weft faced plain weave on simple horizontal looms. Wollen yarns are mostly used; this gives them a sturdy and flat appearance. The mix of traditional and contemporary designs is evidence of a high degree of workmanship. The uniqueness of Mirzapur Handmade Durrie lies in the fact that the whole process is entirely manual, starting from designing and weaving to finishing.
