Naqsh-e-Bahaar – Handwoven Papier-Mâché & Sozni Pashmina in a Garden Mosaic on Cream

A celebration of bloom, geometry, and heritage.

Naqsh-e-Bahaar — “Pattern of Spring” — is a masterpiece of Kashmiri needlework, fusing the vibrance of papier-mâché artistry with the structured elegance of jama-style embroidery. Set on a luxurious cream pashmina base, the shawl explodes in a kaleidoscope of reds, greens, pinks, oranges, and blues — stitched in deliberate symmetry, echoing the mosaics of Mughal gardens and ceilings.

Florals bloom within framed cells, birds perch in mid-song, and paisleys curl like vines — every motif executed in the meticulous Sozni technique, drawn from the visual language of Kashmir’s famed papier mâché designs. The result: a shawl as expressive as a miniature painting and as timeless as a collector's heirloom.

One of one. A garden that never fades.
