Carpets and rugs made for Begumpet's homes
Begumpet is one of central Hyderabad's old-affluent addresses. It takes its name from Basheer-un-Nisa Begum, daughter of the sixth Nizam, who received the land as a wedding dowry on marrying into the Paigah family — the nobles who ranked just below the Nizams. That history still shapes the streetscape: generous high-ceilinged bungalows with broad verandahs sit a short walk from glassy apartment towers along Sardar Patel Road, Kundanbagh and Prakash Nagar. It is a locality telling two housing stories at once, and each one asks something different of a floor.
In the older independent houses around Paigah Colony and the lanes behind Mayur Marg, you tend to find large drawing rooms, formal dining halls and polished stone or hardwood floors that suit a statement rug far better than fitted carpet. A hand-knotted Persian or Iranian piece anchors a high-ceilinged sitting room beautifully, while a finer silk or wool-and-silk Kashmiri rug suits a formal lounge where the carpet is meant to be admired up close. For these homes we often suggest one large central rug to define the seating, with runners for the long corridors and stair landings these older bungalows are known for.
For Begumpet's premium apartments
The newer gated developments and standalone towers near the Greenlands flyover, Prakash Nagar and the Begumpet metro stretch along Sardar Patel Road are a different brief. Open-plan living-dining spaces, master bedrooms over vitrified tile, and home offices have become the norm. Here a well-chosen rug softens an otherwise hard, echoey floor and zones the room without any building work — ideal if you are renting or simply prefer not to fix carpet down. Where you do want the hush and warmth of full coverage, our wall-to-wall ranges in wool and wool blends work well in bedrooms, studies and media rooms, laid over the existing floor with a proper underlay.
What we do
- Rugs: Persian and Iranian, Kashmiri silk and wool, and prayer rugs — pieces to suit both the grand bungalow and the compact apartment.
- Wall-to-wall floor carpet: wool and wool-blend ranges for bedrooms, studies, stairs and quiet rooms.
- Free measure and expert fitting: we measure on site across Begumpet, advise on the right size and pile, and our own fitters lay it neatly around bay windows, columns and the awkward angles older houses throw up.
- Custom hand-knotted rugs: made to your dimensions, colours and design — useful when a heritage room needs an exact size, or a designer needs a piece tied to a specific palette.
- Rug cleaning and care advice for the wool and silk pieces you already own.
A short hop from your door
Our showroom sits at A Battery Line, Masab Tank Road, Vijaynagar Colony — central Hyderabad, an easy drive from Begumpet down through the Khairatabad side. That closeness matters: you can see and feel full-size rugs and carpet ranges in daylight rather than guessing from a phone screen, and we can reach you readily for measuring and fitting. For interior designers and architects working on Begumpet projects, it also means samples, custom sizing and lead times can be sorted face to face.
Why buy from Ellora Carpets
We have been a trusted name in Hyderabad carpets since 1965, dealing in genuine hand-knotted rugs and quality fitted carpet rather than mass-market printed goods. We will tell you honestly what suits a particular room — a silk rug is glorious in a low-traffic formal lounge but the wrong choice for a busy family hall — and we back it with proper fitting and pan-India and worldwide delivery.
