Shalimar Garden Rug

Lahore, Pakistan was a really interesting place.  There were so many places to see and fortunately I was there when we could get out and see some of the city.  Lahore is the cultural center of Pakistan and even though it can be old, dirty and scary, it was also beautiful.  One of the places that was beautiful was Shalimar Gardens.  If you visited it at the right time in Spring, you might have seen a lovely place.  However, it seems that it has lacked the attention it so deserves.

This small 3'x5' rug is called Shalimar.  The design mirrors the garden.  It is divided into quarters, just like the garden.  I love the reds, grays and blues in it and it will always remember my trips to Shalimar.
