Jammu and Kashmir is famous for its unique and extraordinary wall hangings. They feature exquisite hand-made embroidery made with wool, silk or mercerized cotton (chemically treated to add luster). This embroidery is created with the chain-stitch, which is done with a hook instead of needle.
The images created on the wall hangings depict the scenic beauty of Jammu and Kashmir. The motif depicts the various cultural influences this region had during its long history.
