The first mills, opened in 1860, employed weavers from Kashmir, where they had been settled to weave their magnificent traditional shawls. Later, at the instigation of British trading houses, other factories were established in the Amritsar area. » Bibliographic reference: SABAHI, T. – Splendors of Oriental Carpets – Éd.
