Dhurrie

A dhurrie (also dhurri, durrie, durry or dari) is a handwoven rug or a thin flat carpet, an item of home furnishing from the Indian subcontinent. The dhurries have unique designs inspired by the state of origin such as multicolor stripes, one of the most popular patterns. Dhurrie weaving was a big industry in rural India, and they are women across the country. Dhurries are used traditionally as floor-coverings or bedding.
