These rugs are known for their unique geometric designs and vibrant colors, and they have a rich history deeply rooted in Central Asia's cultural traditions.

The rug-making tradition in Bokhara dates back to the 16th century, and it has continued to evolve over the centuries, adapting to changing styles and demands. Bokharas are handmade rugs, also known as Bukharas, Boukhara, or Bokaras. Most are based on Turkmen prototypes called Tekkes. Pakistani Bokhara rugs are among the most popular handmade rugs in the world. They are famous for their soft, luxurious feel, heavy pile, attractive colors, and appearance of repeating octagonal figures called guls or elephant feet, usually on burgundy red, gray-blue, or sometimes green fields. The designs of Bokhara rugs are characterized by their geometric patterns, which often feature repeating motifs such as stars, diamonds, and hexagons. These designs are often created using a limited color palette, with red, blue, and yellow being the most common colors. The use of vibrant colors in Bokhara rugs is a nod to the traditional nomadic culture of the region, where bright colors were used to add energy and life to otherwise dull surroundings. Despite the changes in fashion and design trends over the centuries, Bokhara rugs continue to be highly prized for their beauty and craftsmanship. Today, Bokhara rugs are still handmade and sought after by collectors and decorators alike. In conclusion, Bokhara rugs are true masterpieces of craftsmanship and design.
