Mirzapur’s real carpet empire began centuries before the hit web series
- The Mirzapur-Bhadohi region has been known for its carpet-making tradition long before the show made “Kaleen” popular on screen.
- The region’s carpet-weaving history dates back centuries, with Persian weavers bringing the craft to the area during the Mughal era.
- Today, Bhadohi and nearby areas form one of India’s major carpet-producing and export hubs, with carpets made largely by skilled local artisans.
- So while “Kaleen Bhaiya” made the word famous in pop culture, the region’s real carpet legacy stretches back hundreds of years.
