In 1959 when religious and political uprisings forced a mass exodus, weavers settled in areas below the Himalayas where they reside until this day. Most Indo-Tibetan traditional rug weaving takes place in this region although there are excellent weaving centers in Katmandu, Patan, and Pokhara. The best rugs are still made in the time honored fashion of traditional rug weaving with totally handspun Tibetan yarn and vegetable dyes. Indo Tibetan traditional rug weaving is totally unique in structure and design, largely influenced by the Tibetan tribal culture and to a lesser degree by Buddhism and Chinese culture.
