Established in 1983, Miras Carpet Industries is today a recognised manufacturing and export-trading house. It has its factory in Lal-bazar Srinagar, Kashmir, very close to the bank of Nigeen Lake and just across the historic Hazratbal shrine.
A hundred thousand craftsmen and their families, guided, supervised and equipped with the wisdom and skills of the Golden Age of Persian Weaving. That is exactly what Miras Carpet Industries (MCI) did to bring back the glory of the rugs and carpets that had everyone in awe in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
A direct legacy of the first Golden Age of Persian Weaving, the rugs and carpets bear the artistic patronage of the Great King Humayun. The master touch has all the hallmarks of a legacy from the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Founded by Mir Nawaz and Mir Waseem, Miras has had a glorious run over the years, setting up exclusive showrooms in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi and Kashmir. That journey was guided by a determined objective: To give customers an unmatched experience and selection from the finest of Kashmiri arts and crafts.
