Pashmina wool was taken from the undercoat of the pashmina goats of the high altitude plains of Tibet, Nepal and Ladakh. 19th century paintings depict ladies of European high society wearing Kashmiri shawls, but traditionally in India shawls were worn by both women and men. Mughal emperors favored floral designs in their fabrics, and in the 19th century their designs became more abstract, elaborate and dense.
