Then beginning in the 1930's, it developed its own identity for very fine precise workshop carpets on a cotton foundation. Nain is a city in Iran in between Isfahan and Yezd. The Nain pattern originates in Iran, however, the design of this rug was copied and re-created in the Bhadohi village in the Varanasi region of India, led by Mr. Alam.
