A vision born between dream and devotion, Miraj shimmers like light upon sacred silk. Its field glows in hues of celestial blue and golden sand, evoking the serenity of distant horizons. Flowing motifs move like prayers carried by wind — graceful, infinite, eternal. At its heart, a medallion rises in quiet splendor, a symbol of ascension and peace. Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans, every knot is a moment of reverence, every thread a bridge between earth and the divine. This is not just a carpet — it is a journey of spirit and beauty, a woven mirage that lingers long after the eyes have closed.
