Carpets and rugs made for Karkhana's homes
Few parts of Hyderabad have housing as layered as Karkhana. Within a short radius you have the disciplined defence quarters around the AOC Centre and Gunrock Enclave, the mature tree-lined plots of Vikrampuri Colony and State Bank Colony, the older Brooke Bond Colony and AP Textbook Colony homes, and a steady wave of 2 and 3 BHK apartments that have gone up as the area's real estate picked up. Each of these calls for a different approach to flooring, and after sixty years in the trade we know how to read a room before we ever roll out a rug.
For the independent houses and officers' bungalows in and around Trimulgherry, with their generous drawing rooms and solid floors, a hand-knotted Persian or Iranian rug anchors the space beautifully — a piece that ages with the family rather than wearing out. For the compact apartments closer to the Karkhana main road and the Jubilee Bus Station side, where every square foot counts, lighter Kashmiri silk-and-wool rugs and well-sized runners bring warmth without crowding the room.
Rugs: Persian, Kashmiri and prayer mats
Our rug collection is the heart of what we do. Karkhana customers tend to come to us for:
- Persian and Iranian rugs — knotted in wool and silk, the kind of investment piece that suits a formal sitting room or a study.
- Kashmiri rugs — fine silk and wool weaves with intricate patterns, ideal for apartments and feature walls.
- Prayer rugs and namaz mats — a regular request across the Cantonment's mixed community, kept in a range of sizes and finishes.
- Custom hand-knotted rugs — sized, coloured and patterned to your room, useful when a colony bungalow has an awkward bay or an extra-long hall.
Wall-to-wall carpet and fitting
Many Karkhana families ask us about wall-to-wall carpet for bedrooms, home offices and prayer or pooja rooms — and for good reason. The Cantonment's older homes can have cool stone and mosaic floors that feel hard underfoot through the year, while the newer apartments often want sound-softening and warmth in children's rooms and master bedrooms. We carry wool and synthetic wall-to-wall ranges in plain, textured and patterned finishes, and our own fitters handle the job from measure to finished edge. We will also carpet stairs, landings and study nooks in the multi-level houses common around Gunrock and Vikrampuri.
Free measuring and fitting, delivered to Karkhana
You do not need to guess sizes or haul samples home. Book a visit and our team will come out to your home in Karkhana — whether that is an AWHO flat, a colony bungalow or a new apartment off the main road — measure up, show you swatches against your own light and walls, and give you honest guidance on what will last. Fitting is handled by experienced installers, with neat seams, secured edges and proper underlay where it is needed.
Our showroom sits centrally at A Battery Line, Masab Tank Road, Vijaynagar Colony — over on the Hyderabad side of Hussain Sagar, an easy run from the Cantonment for anyone who prefers to browse the full range in person. Plenty of Karkhana customers do exactly that, then have us deliver and fit. We offer pan-India and worldwide delivery too, which matters here: defence families posted on from Secunderabad often take an Ellora rug with them, or send one to relatives abroad.
Why Karkhana families choose Ellora
Since 1965 we have built our name on real pieces, honest advice and proper fitting rather than pushy selling. We are not a pop-up — we are a Hyderabad institution, and we treat a single prayer mat with the same care as a full-house wall-to-wall order. For a Karkhana home that has seen generations come through the Cantonment, that continuity is the point: a rug or carpet that belongs, and people who will still be here to look after it.
