Bathed in the light of dawn’s first glow, Mihravan radiates warmth, grace, and timeless reverence. Its field glows in tones of sunlit gold and gentle rose, like morning light upon ancient stone. Flowing motifs ripple with quiet rhythm, echoing harmony between spirit and craft. At its heart, a medallion shines like a rising sun — calm, radiant, eternal. Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans, every knot carries the devotion of generations, every thread a prayer woven into form. This is not merely a carpet — it is light transformed into legacy, a golden hymn beneath your feet, alive with heritage and soul.
