Veiled in mystery and light, Azhmir glows with the quiet majesty of ancient dawns. Its field shimmers in deep sapphire and antique gold, where shadow and brilliance entwine like forgotten prayers. Flowing motifs trace the rhythm of old empires — graceful, deliberate, eternal. At its heart, a medallion gleams like a relic of divinity, radiant yet calm. Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans, every thread carries the whisper of devotion, every knot a vow to beauty that endures. This is not merely a carpet — it is a relic of grace and grandeur, a woven sanctum of light, time, and soul.
