amritsa

W. S. Caine, in his book on "Picturesque India", says: "Some of the finest rugs in India are woven at Amritsar." Reference has already been made to the natural qualification which tends to make Amritsar a home of rug weaving. Most of its water is of good quality, and it is near to the course of wool-supply. In addition it has within easy reach the Kashmir district, where skillful dyers and weavers were plentiful.
