Heritage of Kashmir

About J&K Handicrafts

The Directorate of Handicrafts & Handloom, Kashmir, is the nodal agency for preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Kashmiri arts and crafts. Registration with the department is essential for manufacture, sale, and export.

It helps in authenticating genuine Kashmir products like Pashmina, Kani Shawls, and hand-knotted Carpets, protecting them from imitation through GI certification.
