Portrait of Rashid Ansari

Rashid Ansari

My name is Rashid and I am from Mirzapur, UP. In our home, we make Panja Rugs — a craft that is not new, but has been passed down for generations. My grandfather and father have been doing this work since the beginning, and I feel peace continuing it, because I want to keep our family's legacy alive. Mirzapur is known all over the world as the 'Carpet City'. The designs and quality of these rugs are truly beautiful and make every house feel like paradise.
