The ancient art of carpet weaving thrives in Sikkim, where hand-knotted woollen carpets, known as Den, are crafted with intricate Tibetan patterns. This traditional practice dates back to the 1920s, during the reign of Chogyal Tashi Namgyal, and is carried out in dedicated workshops called Namkhang. The process involves detailed design preparation, carding, dyeing, and weaving on a wooden loom.
