khatamband Shahi Hamdan

#Khatamband, a unique form of Kashmiri woodwork, is an art of crafting ceilings from thin, hand-cut wooden panels with intricate geometric designs. Its history is linked to the 14th century, with some sources suggesting its introduction by Persian artisans following Shah-I-Hamdaan's visit to Kashmir. Others point to Mirza Hyder Tughlaq's arrival in 1541 as a possible origin, though the 14th-century connection is more widely accepted
