The Kani Jamawar shawls are a traditional Punjabi shawl that is handwoven in Amritsar, Punjab. These shawls have been famous for their intricate designs and bright colours since the 19th century. These shawls are renowned for their detailed floral vine design on the shawl border. These shawls are used by women as a part of their wedding outfits or otherwise during special functions like marriages and festivals. The shawl gives a rich royalty feel of the late kings and queens. The rich and intricate patterns of the Kani Jamawar shawls are inspired by the Indian tradition of block printing, which was brought to India by Persian traders in the 14th century. The most common pattern is a floral vine that winds its way around the body of the shawl. The vines in the shawl are made up of three or more colours and sometimes include leaves, buds, flowers and even birds.
