Bathed in divine luminescence, Qasr-e-Noor — The Palace of Light — stands as a vision of splendor made thread. Its field glows in shades of ivory and antique gold, reflecting the quiet opulence of royal courts long past. Intricate motifs bloom like carved filigree upon marble walls, each line a whisper of devotion and artistry. At its heart, a medallion radiates with celestial calm — not brilliance that blinds, but light that blesses. Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans, every knot holds the patience of generations, every hue the grace of timeless beauty. This is not merely a carpet — it is light woven into legacy, a palace of serenity beneath your feet.
