carpet making first appeared as an art from during the Mughal
dynasty, when Akbar, The mughal ruler from 1556-1605, set
up workshops in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, and Lahore, with artists
and weavers from the Persian court.
Originally, carpets were woven to Safavid Persian court designs,
but soon the Mughal court designers developed a distinctive
style of their own, and these designs have remained influenced
to this day.
