With Kashmir Tour Packages, explore a great collection of Kashmiri crafts at the Government Arts Emporium, which is right in the middle of Srinagar. As you enter, you are greeted by warm woollen firans, exquisitely embroidered kurtas, and lovely Pashmina shawls. In the basement, you can find a collection of handwoven carpets that run from simple wool designs to expensive silk works of art.
Admire the elaborate carvings on the tables, lampstands, and ornamental boxes made of walnut wood that have beautiful Chinar leaf designs. Explore beautiful pieces made of papier-mâché that are decorated with vibrant flower patterns. Occasionally, talented artisans may show you a sample of their intricate work.
You may support local artists and purchase genuine Kashmiri handicrafts at the emporium. The welcoming employees are happy to offer their knowledge of the tools and methods. It is one of the places to visit in Srinagar, where you can find a cosy shawl, a beautiful carpet, or a one-of-a-kind gift.
