Bhadohi, India
K. Murari Lal & Sons has made fine hand knotted carpets at Bhadohi since 1972. The firm describes itself as a manufacturer, supplier and exporter of Indian handmade carpets, rugs and home furnishing items, working from Sarrayan on the Gyanpur Road. Its stated memberships and certifications are the Carpet Export Promotion Council, the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts, Care & Fair and STEP, the fair trade labelling body for handmade carpets.
Hand knotted carpets are the firm's core line and have been made at Bhadohi since 1972. Each carpet is tied knot by knot on the loom rather than tufted onto a backing or woven by machine.
Handmade rugs are produced in the same Bhadohi workshop as the knotted carpets. The firm lists them among the handmade carpets, rugs and home furnishing items it manufactures and exports.
Home furnishing items sit beside the carpet and rug lines in the firm's range. They are made and exported from the same Bhadohi base on the Gyanpur Road.
