Dhurrie

A dhurrie (also dhurri, durrie, durry or dari) is an Indian and Pakistani handwoven rug or a thin flat carpet, an item of home furnishing. The dhurries have unique designs inspired by the state of origin such as multicolor stripes, one of the most popular patterns. Dhurrie weaving was a big industry in rural India. Dhurries are used traditionally in South Asia as floor-coverings.

The concept of dhurrie is a little bit different from a rug or carpet, because they are used for bedding or packaging, not only as a floor covering. But since the dhurrie serves the same purpose as a carpet or rug, it can be described as one.
