A man and woman create carpets using Shataranji, a weaving technique traditionally used in the Rangpur region of Bangladesh.

In 2021, it was declared a Geographical Indication Product of Bangladesh. It is used to produce carpets that are fashionable, artistic, and practical, especially when used as a blanket. Due to the expense involved in its production, Shataranji has historically been considered a symbol of aristocracy.

Shataranji is a handloom process; no modern technology is used. The most common materials used to weave Shataranji are cotton yarn, jute yarn, wool, among others. Ropes made out of fibres are woven in geometrical patterns, typically measured by hand. During this process, specialised techniques and different colours are used to create unique geometrical patterns and designs. Designs represent the weaver's own expertise, techniques, and style, and typically draw on local traditions from northern India.
