MIRZAPUR: The carpet industry is deeply rooted in the Bhadohi district and its nearby areas of eastern Uttar Pradesh. In India, the industry is valued at roughly 3 to 4 thousand crores, with the Bhadohi, Mirzapur, Varanasi, Gopiganj, and Khamaria belts accounting for more than two-thirds of the total. The carpets made here are mostly for export. It is a very labour-intensive sector that employs around three lakh people in the region.
