Carpet manufacturing began in 1619 during Agra's period as the capital of the Mughal Empire. In the late 19th century, carpet weaving was often based in jails, the most famous of which is the Agra Jail, where inmates produced exceptional rugs during that period using traditional designs. Agra rugs include shapes and styles that depict elements from nature, and use vegetable dyes to make the weaving yarns in classic blue, red, purple, and gold hues.
