Himroo Weaving of Aurangabad

When Delhi was ruled by the Tughlaq emperors, there was considerable trade between Indian and Persian weavers. During this time, when Emperor Muhammad bin Tuglak tried to relocate to Daulatabad, Maharashtra, some valuable trade secrets of Persian shawl weaving techniques secretly came to Aurangabad. During the Mughal Empire, weavers who enjoyed the patronage of the empire began to challenge the rule of Persian weavers. The Indian-made Himroo shawl has aroused great curiosity in neighboring countries. This not only guaranteed a lucrative export market but also enhanced the image of the Mughal dynasty.
