Carpets of Nepal draw inspiration and knowledge from Tibetan Carpets, basically the designs originate from Buddhist and Vedic philosophies. Some designs are also inspired from western world's modern art in today's context. Compared to other internationally renowned carpet it is more durable and heavier as it is hundred percent hand woven and employ double knotting system. The making process of a Nepalese carpet is very time consuming and laborious that demands skill, experience and commitment.

Woolen carpet is generally taken as the masterpiece of Tibetan art, and it widely depicts the mysterious aspect of human development and civilizations observed from the Buddhist point of view. We find a close similarity between woolen carpet and 'Thanka' art both of which are the true exposition of the Tibetan philosophy of life. It is considered that both forms of art (woolen carpet and Thanka) depict the glorious sermons of Lord Buddha by means of dexterous blend of colors and masterly design of patterns and lines. Truly speaking, the Thanka art originated with the purpose of pacifying the unsteady human mind because peace of mind is an essential factor to materialize the sacred preaching of Lord Buddha. Similarly this mysterious art (Thanka) enables human beings to conceive the existence of the whole universe through pacifying and further energizing their mind.

The Thanka art is almost inexplicable to an ordinary eye, but a concentrated observation of it certainly provides the observer with the power of having control over his/her unsteady mind by minimizing the loss of mental power caused by unnecessary tension and tomoult. Because of this significance of the Thanka art, people started to make it easily observable by engraiving and painting it on different parts of their houses (like doors, windows, walls etc), which is still in practice in Tibetan culture. Slowly, this practice took a new turn and people started exposing this art in woolen carpet. Thus the widely admired Tibetan woolen carpet came into existence to convey the spiritual message of the glorious Tibetan art and philosophy of life. In a nutshell, we can say that the woolen carpet is an improved form of Thanka art because it needs more dexterity to depict the spiritual aspect of human civilization. Now the Tibetan people started using colorful woolen yarn instead of brush and painting colors, to give an exposure to their culture. In the beginning they made woolen carpet by hand using the blend of different colors available in the local level. Slowly, new and improved methods were applied in order to give longer life to this masterly creation. The contemporary world of woolen carpet is the consequence of different changes and application of new methods. However, it has always retained its traditional value irrespective of the changes and applications of new methods. The traditional way is still applied in the weaving of the carpets, which is popularly known as Tibetan Knot. This pattern (Tibetan Knot) is taken as the best way of the weaving of woolen carpet, and its popularity is evidently proved by its wide use in the creations of woolen carpet. Now this popular Tibetan art has gained an ideal place in the commercial arena, which can be observed through its growing demand in national as well as international level.

eginning of the availability of Tibetan carpets can be traced back to the time when it established its diplomatic relationship with Tibet. However, its commercial flow gained considerable momentum along with the arrival of the Tibetan refugees. Hence the credit of the commercial promotion of the Tibetan carpet goes to those Tibetans who took asylum in Nepal. Gradually, the production of Tibetan carpets in Nepal started gaining international attention and soon became one of the chief export items. Along with its growing demand, the Tibetan carpet underwent many changes in its shape and pattern and different names like Traditional, Modern and Semi-modern, were given to the improved shapes and patterns. Despite the changes brought about for the commercial sustainsibility of the woolen carpet, the weaving patterns and basic theoretical aspects remained unchanged. It is therefore, the Nepalese woolen carpet retains the traditional Tibetan pattern in its quality.

Tibetan wool:- It is considered as the best wool available and it consists of stronger and softer yarn as compared to other wool. It is evident that the carpet made of this quality wool has longer life than that made of other wool. It is therefore the carpet made of Tibetan wool is in higher demand in the American market. However, the lack of complete whiteness is the demerit of this wool. So it is not preferred in the weaving of white carpets. Sometimes it runs short in the market and creates problem in production.
