Dhurrie

The dhurries have unique designs inspired by the state of origin such as multicolor stripes, one of the most popular patterns.

The concept of dhurrie is a little bit different from a rug or carpet, because they are used for bedding or packaging, not only as a floor covering.

Dhurries have a low maintenance cost as they do not get infected by silverfish or other insects responsible for destroying carpets.

Citapore rugs (Sitapur dhurries) made here are based on flat weave technique using horizontal looms.

It has its own geographical tag for dhurrie, Navalgund durries known as jamkhana in local Kannada language.

The craft is declining rapidly and the weavers are leaving the job to sustain their lives and earn better as it is a small business and cheap to sell while it requires much effort to manufacture as it is hand-woven.

[citation needed] Automation is too costly and faulty as it cannot be used without messing the design and patterns of the dhurrie.
