The village of Duhiya lies just outside Bhadohi, the city famed for its carpets. It is here that all the dyeing of silk and woollen yarns takes place.
Smaller artisan dyers working in the nearby villages are perfecting and innovating this ancient tradition. Coloured yarns in every shade are hung out to dry as soon as the Monsoon rains permit.
Otherwise known as the "Carpet City," Bhadohi is home to the largest hand-knotted carpet hub in South Asia. It is truly an amazing place. I was lucky enough to be shown the entire process from raw wool to a finished rug, as well as the different technical knots used to produce them.
