At the age of eight Sadguru Sri Mahayogi Paramahamsa spontaneously entered nirvikalpa samadhi, complete absorption without any notion or concept, and realized the Atman — True Self. He awoke to Non-dual Reality.

Drawing directly from a century of weaving heritage, this operation transforms raw materials into floor coverings that anchor living spaces with character. The roots trace back to 1914 in the heart of Persian carpet country, where master craftspeople refined techniques passed down through generations.

Their approach resists the throwaway mentality—each piece carries the weight of tradition while pushing toward what comes next. Winter months bring a particular appeal, as layered rugs add warmth and visual depth to rooms that need grounding during the quieter season, transforming bare floors into inviting anchors that pull a space together.
