Abstract:

Various patterns of wood works were investigated from the traditional old buildings located primarily from Muzaffarabad City and Neelum Nalley. These newly created patterns were produced in the form of interior decorations including curtains and bed sheets. These patterns appeared as an fantastically excellent addition to the field of textile designing which may be exploited commercially in the textile industry. It is also a best way to conserve the culture.

Keywords: Kashmir, handicraft, culture.
